CD Reviews

GREAT VALUE FOR MONEY

Patricia FRYER | London, UK | 11/13/2006

(4 out of 5 stars)

"One has no idea who is playing or singing these various opera excerpts, but most of the voices are very good. If you're a serious opera buff and know these pieces well, you might think some of them aren't top quality singers or orchestras, but if you just want to have some nice pieces of opera to listen without analysing the playing/singing capabilities, this is the CD for you.

I actually bought this CD at Fopp (a chain of CD/DVD shops) for £3.00 !! I gather the sister or parent company of the manufacturer of this CD has gone into liquidation...

Anyway, to sum up, a great bargain for not-too-serious opera lovers.
