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
Customer Review: This is one of the best performances I have heard. I say this because although several of the selections were music I usually dislike, as performed here I really enjoyed them. This preogram includes a wide range of music from Viennese operetta of Kalman, Lehar, etc, through opera, songs by... 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.

When Morten Frank Larsen appeared as Mandryka, I thought, "Ooohh... more info

Customer Review: Yes he is the living end. Really. A gorgeous sound and amazing technique. And if you think this cd is good, go and see him in person. You won't believe it, for he is even better live, smooth as silk and phenomenal in performance. You will be swept away!!!
Customer Review: In the best parts of these performances - those mentioned by Tom Lawrence, but I would definitely add to his list "Where shall I fly" - Lorraine's flame burns fully as intensely and penetratingly as on her great Handel recording with Harry Bicket. (In case anyone still doesn't know, Lorraine's... more info
