Customer Review: A greatly missed artist who was one of the great contemporary singers of her time, who would have have accomplished even more had she lived.
Customer Review: This is one of my (admittedly many) favorites of Lorraine's recordings, and it demonstrates all the fundamental aspects of her artistry. The way she sings Granados, Luna, and Wolf - like no one else - turns entire traditions of singing on their head and makes me hear anew entire genres of music. For... more info
Customer Review: I have been learning classical singing as a bass for eight years. I bought this CD after seeing Rene Pape being interviewed on television and was interested in adding his voice to my collection of bass singing. I thought the selection of arias was a good selection.

Perhaps translating the poetic French titles... more info
Customer Review: Lorraine Hunt Lieberson was a wonderfully talented mezzo soprano, who dies far too soon. To begin, I can only quote from another reviewer: "And how sad it is to know that this instrument has passed away two days ago [in 2006]. Lorraine Hunt-Lieberson died two days ago in her home in Santa Fe, New... more info
Customer Review: Renee Fleming is without doubt one of the best Divas we have seen (or heard) on stage at the Met. She does not only possess an amazing voice but she is also beautiful to look at. Both discs included in this package are well worth the price I paid on Amazon, which was much less than I could have... more info
