Roberto Alagna, Maria Callas Luciano Pavarotti,Angela Gheorghiu,Placido Domingo!! \u003cbr\u003e This is a remarkable collection: two and a half hours' worth of opera arias, duets, and a couple of choruses, and nary a dud among them. All the stars are here, from Alagna to Schwarzkopf, with stops at Gheorghiu, Callas, Bjoerling, Dessay, Gedda, Carreras, Popp, Domingo, Norman--and a bunch of others. And the repertoire is wisely chosen: the gorgeous Flower Duet from Lakme, de los Angeles singing Bizet's Habanera from Carmen, the famous Pearl Fishers duet (Gedda, Blanc), Wally's exit into the snow from La Wally (Callas), the Barcarolle from Tales of Hoffmann (Jessye Norman and Ann Murray), \"Largo al factotum\" with an energetic Thomas Hampson as The Barber of Seville, Domingo in \"Celeste Aida,\" countertenor David Daniels in a Handel aria, the heavenly \"Song to the Moon\" from Rusalka, sung as in a dream by Lucia Popp, Caballe as Madama Butterfly, and many more--37 tracks in all. Even if you already own some of these, having them all in one place makes for breathless, glorious listening. --Robert Levine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40904665366625,"sku":"0724356783027","price":10.47,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_962684_701714.jpg?v=1769481389","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/0724356783027-opera-album","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
