Customer Reviews:

Excellent collection.......2003-02-15

This is an excellent collection of great tenors past to present.
While some are still missing (Jussi Bjorling, for instance), it provides a spectacular array of singers from Caruso (earliest) to Alagna (latest). The arias are selected to showcase each tenor's strength: Ernst Haefliger sings "Dalla sua Page" and Jose Carreras sings "Maria", Carlo Bergonzi -- "Parmi veder le lagrime." There's much to enjoy here, and DG's presentation is, as always, superb.

One CD too many. Decent value, though.......1999-12-20

This collection is worth buying for CD 1 alone (and for the low price, of course). Peter Anders was new to me but is marvellous in the Prize Song from Meistersinger. Amazon has got it all wrong on track 6, which features none other than the incomparable Alfredo Kraus singing the Kleinzach aria from Hoffman like few other tenors - at the age of 67 (!). You won't believe what you hear.

The rest of the first CD is equally good stuff, mixing all kinds of tenor voices from the lightest (Schreier, Wunderlich) to the heaviest (Corelli, Del Monaco, Vickers).

CD 2, however, is a sad story. "The 3 tenors" get two tracks each to deliver their usual bland performances, and the rest of the tracks are mostly rather odd choices, even when sung by otherwise fine tenors like Kollo and Araiza. Perhaps Jerry Hadley does the finest performance in "Che gelida manina". I don't care much for Alagna or Schicoff.

Regarding the selection, perhaps the record should be called "Some Tenors of the Century". If DG had given "the 3" one track each and left out Luigi Alva and Araiza, we could have had Melchior, Björling, Gigli and Gedda, to name but a few.

Anyway, there you have it: put CD 1 into your player, press "REPEAT" and just leave it there.

Where else can you get Caruso and Pavorotti on the same CD?.......1999-09-24

I didn't buy this online, but needless to say it is one of the best Tenor CD's I own. I am still in the process of trying to locate a recording of "M'appari tutt' amor" by von Flotow from the Opera Martha. If anyone knows where I could get this, that would be great! This is a great buy for two CD's.

It's hard to knock the hopelessly romantic--especially when, like your parents, they have their own national holiday. Designed as the musical equivalent of a Valentine's Day chocolates sampler (right down to its candy-box design and enclosed gift card containing a romantic poem by Robert Burns), the score of tracks here touch on romantic musical confections that journey from the opera stage (Puccini's Gianni Schicci, Massenet's Thais) to a wealth of Neopolitan love songs highlighted by the effusive Pavarotti/Mancini reading of "Chitarra Romana" and Placido Domingo's dramatic interpretations of "Siboney" and the bittersweet "Core 'Ngrato." The contemporary songbook is represented by Goran Sollscher's bossa nova guitar take on the Beatles' "And I Love Her," while Hollywood gets more than its due via lush Boston Pops renditions of "Unchained Melody," "Evergreen," "Love Story," "Romeo & Juliet," "A Summer Place" and "The Godfather." And just when it all seems ready to threaten one's dental health and/or sober nature, along comes Aubrey Woods' sprightly, bonus-track "Candy Man" from Willy Wonka to put it all in perspective; a guilty, lighthearted pleasure for the hopeless romantic in all of us. --Jerry McCulley

This makes me angry.......2004-02-14

OK, this isn't even classical music, for the most part, despite the fact that some of the performers are associated with the classical repertoire. This is just another attempt to sell watered-down music to listeners with three-minute attention spans. Don't be fooled. If you're truly interested in classical music, don't buy this.
