GLORIOUS!

(5 out of 5 stars)

"The voices on this album can only be described as "gorgeous." All the cuts are outstanding and the music literally soars with passion. Fleming, Leontyne Price, Chiara, and all the divas evoke the grand emotions that great arias should inspire in the listener. The selections were obviously chosen to present a thrilling compendium of Puccini's best loved arias. We heard just a couple of selections at a friend's home and I immediately purchased the CD for our music library."
Outstanding performances, but a bit much

"The performances on this CD really are truly extraordinary. If you love sopranos (or are a soprano) this would be a great CD for you. A nice little excerpting of Puccini's more popular arias.That being said, I really think a piece of music by a great composer is best enjoyed in its entirety, and these excerpts lose much of their impact when removed from the opera as a whole, especially when surrounded by other similar pieces. It gets a bit tiresome listening to all that wailing and swooping for 73 minutes.A great CD if you can't get enough of sopranos singing Puccini arias. If you are a fan of the music, spring for the more complete opera CDs or better yet, go see your favorite Puccini opera somewhere."
