Customer Review: I have several recordings of Strauss's Four Last Songs and I expected this recording to be far and away the front runner, but it's not. The most disappointing is the first song, Fruhling, which seems rough and uncharacteristic of Fleming. I compared it with Kiri Te Kanawa's 1979 recording with the... more info
Customer Review: Yo Yo Ma has done it again. Just a delightful, joyful album. I especially enjoy the collaboration with James Taylor on "Here Comes the Sun", their own version creating a new classic and the several improvisations on Dona Nobis Pacem.
Customer Review: Beautiful from start to finish. As if the voice was not enough joy, there is a poster, dvd and booklet. Great value and total pleasure.
Customer Review: I have two other Arabellas, with Kanawa and Brendel and Janowitz and Weikl, and I liked this one the best. I wanted to see Renee Fleming in the part and she was spectacular; beautifully appointed, in fine voice and natural in the role.

First, several years ago, I gave a glowing review to the DVD and CD of the performance under Solti, finding Angela Gheorghiu to be the definitive Violetta.

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
Customer Review: Erwin Schrott has become famous for being a barihunk, known as much for his Dolce & Gabbana good looks and marriage to the equally attractive Anna Netrebko. They are the Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie of the opera world. Perhaps we should dub them Schrottko. Don't let his good looks fool you,... more info
Customer Review: Fantastic - I bought this recording to acquaint myself with Thais before seeing the Met in HD live broadcast (http://www.metoperafamily.org/metopera/broadcast/hd_events_next.aspx) and have absolutely fallen in love with the story, the music, the singing, the arias, the duets... I could go on and on!... more info
