CD Reviews

A Great Sampling of Mozart Arias
Christine | Santa Clarita, CA United States | 11/05/1999
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This CD is wonderful if you are unfamiliar with the different operas that Mozart wrote. This album offers a sampling of well known arias from Mozarts most famous operas. The singing and orchastrations were wonderful. A CD that is worth owning. (when I purchased this album I recieved the correct CDs)"
Mozart excerpts to end all excerpts
James A. Quitslund | Bainbridge Island, WA United States | 06/20/2001
(5 out of 5 stars)

"It is hard to imagine a bunch of executives deciding to put these excerpts together. It is just too imaginative, an anthology designed in Record Collectors Heaven. There will not be universal agreement that every single selection is the best ever--even the best recording ever issued by Angel/EMI. But who will not be thrilled to hear the bits from the 1950s and very early 1960s by Wunderlich, Gedda, Schwarzkopf, the young Joan Sutherland, Moffo, etc. Yet those of us who still love the Angel Mozart recordings of that time need to hear more recent interpretations as well, and each one of these is really fine. Because so many of the complete recordings are either unavailable or not competitive in today's market, this seems like a self-congratulatory but not self-serving anthology. Where else would we get to hear, again and again, the Spanish soprano Pilar Lorengar sing Pamina's aria from the "Magic Flute"? It is lovely. 99% of the other selections are too. With a huge quantity of music on these two discs, you can't go wrong."
