Rolando Villazon and Anna Netrebko, opera's "golden couple" (or is it "dream team?") have just released their first CD of duets. In the duet that closes the first act of Bohème, both singers are in rapturous voice, their phrasing sensitive and sincere. The Lucia-Edgardo duet is passionate and tender by turns, with Villazon particularly good - he takes his solo softly and in a long breath. The Duke and Gilda are roles made for them: She sounds sweet and vulnerable and he sounds like he believes what he's singing at the moment, and their final high D flat together is a dazzler. A hypnotic Roméo et Juliette duet follows, with gentle singing from both, and they make the most of Leila and Nadir's scene from The Pearl Fishers, turning in a languorous, smooth performance. The big duet from the third act of Manon finds Netrebko at her most seductive and a duet from Iolanta, probably the most lyrical tenor-soprano moment in Russian opera, is a nice rarity, with Villazon very at home in the Russian idiom and the pair soaring to great emotional heights. A delicious number from Torroba's Zarzuela Luisa Fernando ends the CD on a soft, tender note. Netrebko's diction remains unfortunate and while singing with a partner whose diction is as clean and clear as Villazon's, it becomes more noticeable. But there's precious little to complain about here - it's a true pleasure to hear singing and communicating of this caliber. --Robert Levine

five stars +.......2007-05-15

This is an exceptional album, both in content and in the artistry of the singers. Well worth the way above market price.

Wonderful duets!.......2007-05-12

One of the best collection of operistic duets in the recent times.
They both are first class singers.

Powerful and expressive singing with an amazing technique and control.......2007-04-09

Considering Netrebko's and Villazon's age- both are in their thirties- the maturity and command of their artistry is constantly moving ahead of their years. Villazon, with all the bells and whistles of his top ringing notes, has becomes the spinto/Italianate tenor extraordinaire of our time that gives us glimpses- although I hate to make comparisons- of Correlli and Di Stefano.
Netrebko, as a soprano, is in a league of her own. Her voice in any new recording sounds better than in her last one. The lyricim, color and communicating power of her singing trancends vulnerability, despair and hopelessness that are so well portayed in Mimi's duet. Some bloggers hate Netrebko's guts and claim hype for her success. That's a cop out. You cannot sell out opera houses all over the world, and CDs that have surpassed in numbers many classical recording of the past, based only on hype. There must be a substantive voice behind a beautiful face and body. I love and I know opera well, and I've seen, live, many of the great sopranos of past forty years. And if I'm flying across the U.S.A. to see Netrebko at her Carnegie Hall debut- I was lucky to find one of the last tickets- is not hype. No body fooled me and no body made me do it.
For some, the jury may be still out for these two opera superstars, but this CD is an example of extraordinary singing and is highly recommended.

Another great recording.......2007-04-03

Well what can I say-I love every ringlet on his head-he is the man -the greatest-he rules. Every note is a gem that comes out of his mouth. Anna is pretty good too. She certainly is improving.

Divine Duo.......2007-04-02

Anna Netrebko and Rolando Villazon, dubbed the 'Golden Couple' pair up for an album of beautiful operatic duets. Both singers possess glorious voices and each selection/scene captures the listener, with even two unfamilar items alongside the standard repertoire. I urge people to rather purchase the limited edition package that contains a bonus DVD, which shows the making of the album, as well as the music video for the Boheme duet, directed by Vincent Patterson.

It's time we met and made a mess.......2007-01-11

Alright, well...after that near perfect, detailed, review below mine, there's not much left to say. Anna Molly is just an upbeat rocker that seems to be the kind of track you either love or hate. I fall in to the love portion and I'm sure you would too if you saw Incubus perform it live. Other than that, you do actually get to hear it live, and in normal Incubus form, they pour a ton of energy into it. As seems to be customary anymore, you also get another version of Drive. As much as I like the song, it's seriously starting to grate the nerves. The overhaul they did on it in 2004 was genius and reminded me as to why I liked it in the first place but I don't know, I'd rather have the version of Pardon Me they did on ESPN's ESPY awards personally (I know that was a long time ago but man, love that version!). Then you have the beautiful acoustic rendition of Love Hurts from their newest offering, Light Grenades. Incubus always puts out terrific acoustic tracks and this is no different. Brandon's voice is painfully amazing and Mike's guitar work is great as well.

I'm not gonna say that everyone should own this single. It's clear that the only people who rush out to buy Incubus singles are the die-hard fans and they already know, even before hearing it, that it's definitely worth the money. But for casual fans I'm not sure. The acoustic version of Love Hurts proves to be worth the price of admission alone, so I suppose if you feel like throwing down a chunk of change for this single, you most likely won't regret it.

Not the best song..........2006-12-17

An average song on an amazing album. And what the heck is up with the heinous album artwork????? What were they thinking? Are they trying to put us off buying it?

Perfect introduction to Light Grenades........2006-12-12

Although there was a long wait for this single (I originally ordered it in early November, and just received it), I am very pleased. Anybody who's a fan of Incubus's new album, Light Grenades, will instantly fall in love with every track that's on here. Or if you're simply interested in hearing how Incubus sounds these days, this is a good place to start. You should all be familiar with the first track by now. Anna Molly is not only upbeat and catchy, but it exudes singer Brandon Boyd's typical intelligent lyricism. The song is a commentary on appreciating and learning to love a person for who they are, instead of holding out for an ideal person you've created in your mind's eye. Cleverly, he sings the lyrics as "anomaly," as the person may or may not exist in real life.

The remaining tracks aren't available on any other release. The live tracks were recorded at this year's Edgefest - a festival that took place in Tempe, AZ during the month of September. Per usual, the band demonstrates their impressive live abilities and energy during the song Anna Molly. The next song, Drive, is perhaps the most well known Incubus song. It has undergone several makeovers over the past couple of years, most recently including MUCH more distortion on the part of guitarist Mike Einziger. The rougher guitar portions of this song are a welcome change to this overplayed, albeit good, song.

The last track makes this single worth every penny. The album version of Love Hurts is impressive to say the least. But in typical Incubus style, stripping the song down to its core elements of guitar and vocals makes it all the better. It is an incredible exhibition of Boyd's talents as a singer and poet. They manage to take an obviously cliche topic and keep it interesting. I encourage any Incubus fan to pick this up (or download it... whatever). And if you haven't checked out Light Grenades yet, I suggest you do that ASAP.

Súper Anna.......2007-03-29

Un gran album con musica en Ingles de esta gran cantante Griega. un super album

Amazing.......2005-02-10

I recently bought this Cd, because I am crazy for Anna Vissi, and have all her other Cd's, exept this one. When I herd the Cd, I was blown away. I expected it to be good, because Anna Vissi has a great voice, but not this good. I really liked the songs that her long time song writter Nikos Karvelas and ex-husban wrote.(Still in love with you, Kick the habit, Everything I am, and Way out). On this Cd, Anna Vissi sing very nice ballads, as well as "dance" songs.(Pop-Rock) I HIGHLY RECOMEND THIS CD!!!! Also, she will be releasing her new english language Cd, sometime in Febuary of 2005. She has already released her single "Call Me".

ANNA VISSI IS A GODDESS.......2004-09-12

Anna Vissi Greece's #1 Singer with tons of multi Platinum cd's. This album shows her ability to sing in English. She will have a new English album coming out in Jan 04. In NEW YORK!!!!
Her voice is mesmerizing. A True singer. One in a millione.

PS. Her version of "On a night like this" The original version is much better than Kylie's version.

Very dissapointed !!!!.......2004-03-11

I first heard of Anna when i heard kylie's version of "On a night like this" that song is so great so when I found out that Anna was the first 2 sing it I had 2 hear it so i bought the CD and i was expecting more but it was a bomb. my advise dont waste your money.....

good.......2004-01-09

very good album by the greek diva.Still in love with u, after u, i was made for loving you and supernatural love are brilliant pop songs.she was worth a shot outside greece but she didnt get it.she had a sold out concert in the Royal Albert Hall in London and the album went gold in greece and cyprus.

This One Is Good---But Not "The Best".......2006-09-12

Type the following into the search on Amazon to find the best English version of The Merry Widow: Léhar: The Land of Smiles; The Merry Widow; The Count of Luxembourg (Highlights)

Arguably "The Best" English "Merry Widow ", September 11, 2006

The "best version" of the "Merry Widow" is NOT this one. The best version is the one with English translation by Christopher Hassel sung by June Bronhill. I loved that rendition ever since I first heard it in about 1960. What's to love? First the translation is the best I've heard. The language doesn't sound "stilted" as some others. And, you can understand almost every word sung. Plus, the famous song, "Vilja" has some wording that moves me every time I hear it: The soprano sings, "Love me and I'll DIE for you!" with "die" somewhat emphasized. I don't know, there's just something "powerful" about someone saying they'd "die" for love! AND, at the end of "Vilja" the chorus and soprano raise to a crescendo hitting a high note together. In many renditions the chorus is heard but not the soprano on the final high note. In THIS version, the soprano, June Bronhill, can be heard rising to the final high note LOUDER than the chorus---which gives a very thrilling effect as she holds that final note, I assure you!

The "problem" is that this June Bronhill, Reid, and Hassel version is hard to find on CD. For example, the Bronhill CD is made in Holland and "there is one left", so it says on Amazon. But, if you can find it, I think it would be very much worth a listen. Then, after hearing it, if you think there's a "better" Merry Widow, please let ME know! Thanks. Email:boland7214@aol.

Joan Sutherland under the baton of Richard Bonynge.......2004-02-24

THE MERRY WIDOW, Franz Lehar's dizzying and delightful operetta chestnut, is given the grand treatment in this highlights album featuring Joan Sutherland.

There have been many widows (including June Bronhill, Anna Moffo, Beverly Sills), though Joan Sutherland's WIDOW has always been especially grand. The supporting cast on this recording features Werner Krenn as Count Danilo with Valerie Masterson as Valencienne, Regina Resnik as Zo-Zo and John Brecknock as Camille, with Francis Egerton, John Fryatt, Graeme Ewer and the Ambrosian Singers.

Sutherland's performance as Hanna Glawari is full of masterful strokes and she approaches the score with a twinkle in her eye, aware of the comedy in the piece. Richard Bonynge conducts the National Philharmonic Orchestra and they are especially chill-inducing with the Overture.

All-in-all a superlative recording at a bargain price.

Performances better than the recording.......2004-01-18

Unfortunately this CD was made from the Australian TV tapeing of The Merry Widow, a shame that the microphones are not of high enough quality to capture the really fine performances, it is hard enough to understand what is being sung when properly recorded let alone when the equipment stinks, however if you enjoy Joan Southerland as much as I do you can overlook the flaws in the recording and just get carried away with the voice, it would be nice if a libretto had been included, a rarity today, that used to be common in the era of the LP

Italian Diva.......2007-05-16

It's a good album with some fun songs. You can't ask for much more than "Caminando" to make you want to move!

Brightest star in contemporary Italian music.......2006-11-16

Almost unknown to the rest of the world, Anna Oxa has been one of the most important and influential singers of the Italian pop scene... She posseses not only an extraordinary voice but also an overwhelming charisma on stage. "Senza Pietà" (No mercy) was the winner song of the legendary San Remo Festival in 1999, but back then she was already a big star in Italy. "Verrai" (You will come) and "Sweet love" are the other two songs that set this album apart from all that she recorded previously. Simply one of the greatest Italian divas...

Great CD!.......2006-07-11

I initially bought this for the duet between Ana and Chayanne, but was blown away by the rest of it. Her voice is fantastic! Even though I don't understand Spanish, I still thoroughly enjoy her work.

Pure and uninhibited talent!.......2003-07-06

Anna Oxa is a little bit Cher, a little bit Madonna, a little bit Shakira, a little bit Tori Amos all rolled up into one person. In Senza Pieta, Anna clearly demonstrated her vocal capabilities and artist talent. The duet with Chayanne is out-of-this-world, but my favorite track is the title song, Senza Pieta.

Regarless if you speak or understand Italian or not, the music transcends all artificial barriers and speaks to your soul (so much so that I am confident you will love Anna as much as I do). Highly highly recommended.

Very Good.......2003-05-04

Honestly, I bought this cd to hear the duet with Chayanne. While the duet is incredible, so is the rest of the cd. Anna Oxa has a wonderful voice and I enjoy the entire collection of songs. Each one is worth listening to and enjoying

More Western Oriented.......2007-05-16

This album is more disco/pop oriented than Anna Vissi's earlier albums,which I personally prefer.Maybe this is designed to attract a world audience in addition to merely Greek fans.In fact it puts me in mind of Despina Vandi's "Gia".Who can say:however it will backfire for those who prefer impeccably played authentic Greek instruments and top quality sound,which this album doesn't have.[you do get the odd fuzzy sound of a bouzouki thrown in at times just so you don't forget that this IS a Greek album.]I suppose it all depends on your musical taste.I can't help feeling that Anna is turning into a Greek version of Madonna.If that's what the fans want,well that's fine by me,but count me out in future.I'll stick with Natassa Theodoridou.You'd be better off buying her previous double album,KRAVGI,which is far better than this one:really first class in fact.

She's the queen of Italy........2003-04-04

Anna Oxa is one of the best singers of Italy. She started her career back in 1978 and sience then she had released successful albums and big hits in Italy. She is also a two time winner of San Remo Festival.
After the success of her 1999 release "Senza pieta" she returned with this album that has 10 songs. One of the songs is in English (Take a little trip)(she has a perfect English) and another song is an old hit of her's (Un'emmozioni da poco) that Anna re-recorded for this cd.
Anna has a beautiful strong voice. Her style is soft pop and her voice and style make a wonderful mix.
If you know her and have another album of hers you must have this tittle and of corse her big hit album "Senza pieta".
I'm going to translate the songs in English in case if you don't speak italian.
1-L'immenso e il sou contrario. (The immense and its contrary)
2-Uomo dove sei. (Man where are you)
3-Controvento. (Against the wind)
4-Sister.
5-L'eterno movimento. (The endless moment)
6-Take a little trip.
7-Notte d'immagini. (Night of images)
8-Io saro con te. (I'll be with you)
9-La vita dove va. (Where does life goes)
10-Un'emozioni da poco. (An emotion little by little)
P.S I wonder why Anna doesn't make the crossover and releases an album internationally because she has the voice, the style, the talent and the record company to do it. I hope that she do this kind of work someday.

mostly an outdated 80's synth sound.......2005-04-30

I love Anna Domino's voice and her recent work with Snakefarm. So I have been anxious to get other examples of her music. Unfortunately the music on this CD (originally from 1987) sounds very outdated and is hard to listen to even though it has been remastered for this release. Her voice is strong, however. There are some bonus tracks and an updated (remake) version of one song from 1996. I will next try to get some of her later work.

Foreign music .......2005-02-10

This is a really good CD. Some are pop tunes, but no drastic deviations from the Greek flavored music style.

Anna Vissi Lives!!.......2004-09-12

I believe to be the bigest ANNA VISSI fan in the world. I got all her albums (97-04) and she is just amazing this cd was very good. It could be a little better but Anna can pull anything off. The remixes for this cd are just amazing too.

IT's AWFUL!!! ABSURD NOISE!!.......2004-01-26

This is the worst Greek CD that I have heard so far!
The songs are ridiculous and Vissi can't sing no more!

She is an old lady that sings stupid ballads while screaming.
Be smart and BUY THE NEW QUEEN AND GODDESS OF GREEK POP, DESPINA VANDI! Anna sucks!

The ultimate Greek voice!.......2003-06-14

Anna Vissi's "X" is by far one of the best surprises you will find when stopping by a record store at the International section. She has managed to make a record that transcends language and music style that challenges as a timeless album. Being a huge fan of hers (I don't speak Greek) I have to give this cd the maximun rating for the following reasons:
. Anna's voice of course is an instrument itself, raspy on some tunes, high on others, soultry with a few; but overrall it let's you know that who sings is a woman with character, with passions and pains. She transmits those emotions very well.
. The music is a mix of classic Greek with modern technology. Some are danceable, some are very dark, some are serious, and some are just pure fun!
. The production is impecable, tracks laidout in an organized way, that makes it perfect, it flows wonderfully at the first spin, and then it keeps getting better.

Opens with her whispering to you what's about to happen, a catchy electronic tune, being followed by the most powerful song on the cd, the title track "X" (to me anyways) with a hauting piano arragement that leaves you hitting the repeat button. Other gems are number 3, great poppish tune, and one of my favorites number 5 with classic Greek string arragements. Others to consider are number 7 powerful trance/dance song with synths that I haven't heard done so greatly. Twelve songs that will make you want more!
Maybe the only thing missing was perhaps a better graphic design, it's a great picuture of Anna, but we sure deserved more than one.
I'm sure this will be a keeper for you, great collector; and if you are just now getting familiar with Greek and International music in general, try this Anna Vissi record and you'll find out what Greek music is all about.
