Average Rating: (4.7 out of 5 stars) 4.5 stars

4 stars Great Choice for a newbie ......
I have never bought a Opera CD in my life and I am 34. But most of the song on this 2-CD package were ones I had heard in movies and commercials. The recordings were sharp and crisp and best of all with several different opera singers on the CDs I have better idea which singers I enjoy hearing. It is a must have for a opera starter.

5 stars very good cd
I had a similar set of these arias on tapes but this set is much better. It is great playing them while cruising in my CRV.

5 stars BRAVO!
This 2 cd set lives up to the title. The album gives you both the most popular and not so popular opera arias. This album grows on you. The more you listen to it, the more you want to hear it again.

Jane Monheit Taking A Chance On Love CD  (2004)

Best Opera Album In The World...Ever!
CD $9.99  3.7 stars Top 500 Audio Samples Definitive Album
While the early 2000s bore witness to a bevy of youthful standards singers with earnestly traditional vocals, New Yorker Jane Monheit preceded Norah Jones, Michael Buble, Katie Melua et al. She wowed the jazz world when she was barely out of her teens with her 2000 debut, NEVER NEVER LAND, and quickly ascended to stardom. Monheit's fourth record, 2004's TAKING A CHANCE ON LOVE, expresses her love for movie musicals of the 1930s and '40s. From both Monheit's song choices and the fervor she pours into these selections, it's virtually impossible to challenge the sincerity of her affection. Monheit ...

As a teenage piano-and-vocal prodigy, Peter Cincotti was, predictably, subject to criticisms of being nothing more than a pale imitation of his influences. On his second full-length album, ON THE MOON, however, the New York City native exhibits the type of quiet confidence that normally takes decades to develop. Unlike many talented youngsters, Cincotti is neither rebel nor revivalist. Rather, he combines a bit of ...

Transylvanian Softwear
Guy Klucevsek Transylvanian Softwear CD  (1994) (Import)

Best Opera Album In The World...Ever!
CD $16.59  Audio Samples
Another utterly delightful CD of Klucevsekian accordion oddities. The opening selection is Klucevsek's own "Transylvanian Softwear" (1991) and features gypsy/Eastern European scale flourishes that grow into a steady, captivating dance beat, music for a Hasidic wedding. The "Viavy Rose Variations" (1989) are based on two delightful major-key, traditional accordion melodies from Madagascar in triple meter. The feeling is that of a light, bittersweet mood. Toward the end, Klucevsek shows off some lovely improvisation in quickly running passages. John Zorn's "Road Runner" (1986) uses effects like shaking tone clusters and banging and knocking on the instrument, together with brief quotes from tangos, Liszt's "Hungarian Rhapsodies," fake boogie, "Flight of the Bumble Bee," the theme to Dragnet, Bach's "D Minor Prelude" and "Fugue," jolly Spanish tunes, "Blues in the Night," diminished chord riffs, Beethoven's "Pastoral Symphony," and more, all in the spirit of Carl Stalling's soundtracks for the classic Road Runner cartoons. Klucevsek's "Perusal" (1988) explores Andean panpipe music by shifting a simple melody in stereo between accordion speakers and then creating different thrilling accompaniments to the tune. His "Bandoneons, Basil and Bay Leaves" (1993) is a touching tribute in memory of Astor Piazzolla. The "Three Microids" (1991) are fascinating studies after Bartók's explorations of folk music: "My Right Foot, on the Other Hand" contrasts 3/4 and 10/8 simultaneous meters, "Eleven Large Lobsters Loose in the Lobby" uses the accordion exclusively as a percussion instrument with a lot of "Hey!" shouting, and "Bustin' Broncos in the Balkans" has "yippee-yo-ki-yay" shouts and a Balkan romp dance. William E. Duckworth's "Slow Dancing in Yugoslavia" (1990) transposes a well-known American popular song to a Middle Eastern scale. Fred Frith's "The Disinformation ...

Cusp of the Baroquecusp (kŭsp) n. A point or pointed end. [< Lat. cuspis.] Music historians have settled on the year 1600 as the “offical” ending of the Renaissance and beginning of the Baroque period. Change however, usually occurs incrementally, so a musical slice through the year 1600 reveals a very wide range of styles, many of which would eventually be reflected ...
