5 out of 5 stars masters of classical music.......2007-03-26

A nice collection for the classical listener. Great variety of composers and the music quality of the cds are very good.

5 out of 5 stars A good basic collection.......2006-11-10

With selections from numerous composers, it is an easy way to familiarize oneself with some of the most popular classical works and excerpts. A pleasant listen for the initiated too.

5 out of 5 stars An excellent introduction to classical music.......2006-10-18

This is an excellent introduction to classical music. Well performed and presented.

5 out of 5 stars Very Beautiful!!!!!1.......2006-10-05

If you are a fan of classical music then you better get this set. Not only is it very cheap, 10 Discs for about 2$ per disk. Now where are you gonna find a deal like this. I actually found mine chaper, $20.00 even and the music is outstanding. If you had a very bad day and very stressed out, just put in one of these cds, lay down, dim down the lights and just relax. It really helped me out.

5 out of 5 stars Still Stuck on Beethoven.......2006-08-22

I just recently started listening to classical music so I'm certainly not one to compare or critique the quality of this set. However, I do have a few comments...

My interest started in this genre of music because I'm researching my ancestry in Prussia and this is the music of those times. Never mind my ancestors were poor peasants who probably never got the chance to hear such wonderful music... when listening to these CDs, I'm taken back in time... to a royal court in Europe... to another place in time. The music is inspiring, relaxing, invigorating.

I have yet to listen to all the CD's in the set. I'm stuck on Beethoven! Wasn't he AWESOME!?!

I think this set is a wonderful introduction to classical music!!!!!

If you are a fan of classical guitar than this is a must own set. I enjoy every moment.

5 out of 5 stars Highly Recommended!.......2006-12-23

I would recommend this CD to anyone who loves music--period! Christopher Parkening is unquestionably one of the greatest classical guitarists of all-time. He embodies personal excellence like no other and is a brilliant artist. This CD is a must-have for any classical enthusiast. My favorite pieces include: Tárrega's "Recuerdos de la Alhambra," "Romance," Bach's "Prelude No. 6," and Rodrigo's "Concierto de Aranjuez." There are other versions of these pieces as well, but I always prefer Parkening's renditions, as they are oh so extraordinary--especially the recording of Aranjuez!! Other guitarists never seem to capture the essence of Rodrigo's musical masterpiece (e.g., Göran Söllescher in "Mad About Guitars"). But Parkening did! And the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra was a perfect accompaniment.

This CD is definitely worth buying. Included is a CD booklet, which illustrates the history of Parkening's illustrious career, interesting tidbits about all 25 recorded pieces, and several photos of his early life to his "breathtaking performance" at Rodrigo's 90th birthday celebration at the Royal Festival Hall in London, 1992.

5 out of 5 stars Amazing.......2006-05-08

I am not going to go into great detail. I am working on a degree in classical guitar and I can say this is something to strive for. His musical interpretation of the peices represented here are some of the best I've heard. His tone,color, and phrasing is incredible.

5 out of 5 stars A gentleman musical agreement! .......2006-03-16

In guitar ` s playing there have been many renowned performers, gifted of exuberant technique. But curiously the Apollonian playing is not by itself strictly enough. The guitar is the instrument which is closer to heart as any other one. It demands from you passion and sentiment. There have been three well known guitarists, one of them from England and the other one from Spain and the third one from Japan whose sensibility was totally absent in their performances.

But fortunately for us, there have been notable interpreters that have been maintained a desired balance and contrast between brain and heart, achieving great distinction and total acknowledgement around the world. I would name seven primordial names along the instrument `s story. First of all: the mythic soloist Andres Segovia, Regino Sainz de la Maza, John Williams, Alirio Diaz, Manuel Berrueco, Siegfried Behrend and Christopher Parkening, among the most representative ones of a great list.

Christopher Parkening `s career has made a brilliant colorist, an impeccable and sensitive interpreter of this well reduced repertoire. His profound artistic conviction and convincing phrasing has been a perpetual motive of constant invitations and presentations around the world.

5 out of 5 stars Extreme virtuosity.......2005-09-25

CP has become my chief inspiration to improve as a classical guitarist. His performances here are, without exception, phenomenal. He makes the most difficult pieces sound effortless. I prefer CP over John Williams because, while Williams is also unquestionably a master, he sounds a bit robotic to me at times. CP, on the other hand, never sacrifices musicality to precision. He sublimely maintains both.

5 out of 5 stars Correction.......2006-12-13

Now folks, both of what the two other reviewers wrote about the tragical death of Fritz Wunderlich is wrong. Wunderlich died in hospital at September 17 1966. He had broken his skull, when he fell down the stairs in the hunting-house of a friend. Late in the evening of September 16, Wunderlich, as usual when not at home, had phoned his wife in Munich. He was very tired from strolling through the forest the whole day, making out the ideal locations for the hunt, which should start early in the next morning (Wunderlich was a passionate hunter). After he had wished his wife a good night, he went to the staircase in order to go down to his bedroom at the first floor. He still wore his heavy hunting boots - with open shoestrings! As walking downstairs, Wunderlich struggled over the open shoestrings and grabbed for the banisters, which was not more than a rope, fixed to the wall. The banisters teared out, and Wunderlich fell down the whole stairs. Fritz Wunderlich died in hospital the next day. It was only short before his 36'th birthday. An exceptional singing career had come to an untimely end. Some people believe that Wunderlich was drunken at the time of accident. If this is true can't be proven any more. But still this is not what his close friends said, regarding his accident and his death. In my opinion Wunderlich was the last of the really great tenors of the last century. All the tenors which came to fame after him (sorry folks, even such maestros as Pavarotti and Domingo) lack a certain quality in singing. It's the ease of breath flow, or singing on the breath without pushing the voice, it's the overtones, the legato, the mezza voce, the messa di voce and many more things - in short: the overall beauty of the voice through both registers. Wunderlich was the last tenor who had all this. Other examples are Caruso, McCormack, Gigli (despite the sobbing in his later recordings) and of course the wonderful Jussi Björling. But these are only some few names. If you listen for example to the cd's in the box "Famous tenors of the past" you will find that there were many very good and outstanding tenors in the first half of the 20'th century and - as we can only assume - in the time before the invention of the grammophone. Take a close look at todays famous tenors (I know, there are some quite good and promising ones) but what are they in comparison to those tenors (or better to say, to their voices and singing) I just mentioned before?

Please make your own decision.

5 out of 5 stars Fritz Wunderlich can do no wrong...........2006-05-05

... okay, maybe. It's just that I've never heard a recording I didn't love. And I prefer that he sing everything in German even when that means not using original language.

This is a bit strange because I'm most often bugged by Don Carlos and Vepres in Italian (just a personal quirk). Of course, I'm also bugged by dropping the "s" in Don Carlos, which is always incorrect. The man's name IS Carlos whether in Italian or French.

I tried to write Mr. Avila a personal note, but could not, so let me say that Fritz Wunderlich did not die of cancer, but a dreadful accident in Scotland (I'll not go into the whys and wherefores, I just wanted to set PART of the record straight.)

5 out of 5 stars The Wonder of Wunderlich.......2005-11-22

Deutsche Grammophone does it again! This is an extensive 3-cd compilation album featuring the artistry of the great German tenor Fritz Wunderlich in a variety of vocal repertoire - Baroque cantata/oratorio, opera and Lieder. Like the other critic pointed out, I first heard Fritz sinigng a superb Tamino in the Karl Bohm Magic Flute, although I have also heard him sing Lieder opposite the mezzo soprano Christa Ludwig and baritone Dietrich Fischer Dieskau, who were his contemporaries and colleagues. Wunderlich died tragically in 1966 of cancer. He inspired a generation of purely lyric tenors or "tenors di grazie" whose charming voice would never roughen and lack grace. His Germanic style earned him popularity in World War II Europe and he was the leading exponent of Lieder in the 50's. His tenor voice is glorious, as close to a male angel as possible. On this recording, we are treated to sumptuous arias from Bach's Christmas/Easter Oratorios, and movements from 2 cantatas. Also noteworthy are the unsurpassed performances of Mozart tenor heroes- such as Belmonte from "Die Entfuhrung Aus Dem Serail" (Abduction from the Seraglio) and his unbeatable Tamino from Die Zauberflote The Magic Flute. He sings bel canto opera arias fo tenor, from master composers Rossinni, Bellini and Verdi. While I don't much like that he is singing Italian arias in German, one must remember that at this time, in the LP Era of World War II Germany and Austria, German-born opera singers sang Italian opera in German translation/revisions. While many German singers could indeed sing in Italian, they were mostly trained to sing it in German because of excessive national pride and because Germans viewed Italian opera as course and un-melodic. Still, there have been superb German singers who sang in Italian like Wagner diva Birgit Nilsson,baritone Dietrich Fischer Dieskau, tenor Peter Schreier, soprano Edda Moser, baritone Walter Berry, tenor Herman Pretty, all post-Wunderlich sensations. Wunderlich sings Lieder in one CD with great and unrivaled musicianship. Especially impressive are the Viennese pieces. Further to the cd's this album is equipped with photos of Wunderlich and his family and a detailed profile biography.



5 out of 5 stars I wish I could give this release more than 5 stars: it's terrific!!!.......2005-10-28

I knew little about the German tenor Fritz Wunderlich (1930-1966), except reading the accolades given to his recordings and performances by reviewers in "American Record Guide" over the past 13 years. I knew Wunderlich recorded the role of Tamino in the famous DG recording of Mozart's "Die Zauberflote", with Karl Bohm/Berlin Philharmonic (Now on DG Originals CDs), but was not aware of what a wide range of repertoire he had until hearing this release.

This release has a wide variety of Wunderlich's discography, including Bach arias from his Christmas and Easter Oratorios, and movements from 2 cantatas; his Mozart roles in "Die Entfuhrung aus dem Serail" (Eugen Jochum/Bavarian Radio Orchestra) and "Die Zauberflote" (Karl Bohm/Berlin Philharmonic); a variety of arias and duets by Rossini, Bellini, Verdi, Richard Strauss, mostly sung in German, and with Hermann Prey, baritone and Erika Koth, soprano in many of the duets; Baroque arias by Handel, from "Xerxes" (including the famous "Ombre mai fu" sung in German) and "Julius Caesar", selections from Monteverdi's "Orfeo" (an early track from 1955 sung in Italian); Schumann's "Dichterliebe", 4 Beethoven Lieder, including "Adelaide" and "Der Kuss"; and 9 Schubert lieder, including "An der Musik," and "Der Musensohn", all with Hubert Giesen, piano; Popular songs such as "Granada" and Viennese songs, with chamber orchestra accompaniment. There are no texts for the songs, but you may have text booklets with other CD releases, so don't really need them when you hear Wunderlich's beautiful voice.

There is a booklet with articles about Wunderlich's career, including a preface by his widow, Eva Wunderlich, photos of Wunderlich as a boy and young man, with his wife Eva in 1965, and children Constanze, Wolfgang, and Barbara. I enjoy reading and looking at the booklet, even apart from listening to the beautiful recordings.

Wunderlich was a genius, and his voice sounds great in every track, mono (some, but not a majority) and stereo (most of the tracks in the 7 discs are stereo) alike. If you love great music, and opera, but like me aren't often of a mind to sit still for 3 hours to listen to one, get this. It's a great release, and reasonably priced to boot. I'm thankful to God for great music, for the ability to hear and feel, and for Fritz Wunderlich and his service to music lovers everywhere.

This is a good deal for 10 cds, but there are nno complete pieces except for the Four Seasons by vivaldi, and some shorter piano works. The recording quality is a little bit less than perfect, and it doesn't have teh full vollume of other cds i have. Overall, I recomend buying it, there are some nice pieces on it.

This is one of the best recordings of Barber currently available and definitely the winning newer version, the result of fine singing and outstanding ensemble work by the delightful mezzo- soprano Jennifer Larmore as a youthful Rosina, tenor Raul Gimenez as an Almaviva who can even handle the Count's long, difficult (and usually cut) final aria, "Cessa di piu resistere," and Hakan Hagegard as a delightful Figaro in good voice. Bass Samuel Ramey sings Basilio's aria with droll wickedness, while Alessandro Corbelli's Dr. Bartolo is a comic delight. Jesus Lopez-Cobos conducts with style and élan. --Sarah Bryan Miller

5 out of 5 stars Rossini would be laughing!.......2003-05-27

A reviewer for American Record Guide said that this recording is unfunny (I believe "dreary" was the word he used). I haven't the slightest idea what he means. On the contrary, this performance of Rossini's comic masterpiece, IL BARBIERE DI SIVIGLIA, is delightful, simply because the singers are not TRYING to be funny. Instead, they and the orchestra under Lopez-Cobos carefully observe Rossini's dynamic and expression marks, and in doing so bring out the humor that Rossini wrote into the score. Consequently, this performance sounds the way that I believe Rossini himself, master of comic opera that he was, would have wanted it to sound. The singers are consistently outstanding. Haken Hagegard may not be an Italianate Figaro, but he is very likeable, displaying great personality in "Largo al factotum" and in the recitatives. Raul Gimenez, one of the finest Rossini tenors today, sings beautifully as Count Almaviva, exquisitely shading his voice in his two arias in the first scene and efortlessly handling "Cessa di piu resistere," his long aria at the end. Jennifer Larmore's Rosina is technically flawless, and she sings with a wonderfully light touch; her voice is always beautifully focused. Alessandro Corbelli isn't mentioned enough: he is simply one of the finest and subtlest "bassi-buffi" singing today. He really SINGS Bartolo (rather than "mugging"). And listen to his patter in "A un dottor della mia sorte"! Flawless! Expert Rossinian Samuel Ramey rounds out the cast as a superb Don Basilio, singing his aria, as the editorial reviewer pointed out, "with droll wickedness." To sum up, this is an outstanding modern recording of IL BARBIERE, with a cast and conductor who get the most out of this comic music. Rossini would be laughing!

1 out of 5 stars Try Another one.......2001-02-04

I really didn't like this recording. I was expecting a great show, and it is not 10% of it. this recording has no attractives.

5 out of 5 stars ¡ WHAT A PERFORMANCE !.......2000-08-04

I recomend this recording to those who like hearing an exelent sound made by the singers and the orquestra, directed by the great Lopez-Cobos. I like very much Larmore's interpretation, she is one of the best bel canto mezzo sopranos, and her singing is better with Raul Gimenez by her side. Larmore's "una voce poco fa", it's outstanding. Enjoy this opera, interpretated by these fabulous artists.

5 out of 5 stars Best Digital version.......1999-09-11

Outstanding set. Larmore never fails to amaze. Try "Una voce poco fa". True, she does show off a bit, but who cares? It is a stunning vocal display. Whenever I want to introduce someone to opera, I play this aria sung by Larmore because it is so amazing. Gimenez is one of the best Rossini tenors in the world today and he lives up to it on this record. Hagegard is also top notch. "Largo al factotum" jumps out of the speakers and he comes the closest to actually singing all the notes of anyone recently. The one caveat for this recording is the orchestra. I feel they don't support the cast strongly enough, or perhaps the sound engineers placed them too far back. Not enough orchestral bite. Otherwise outstanding.

5 out of 5 stars marvelous.......1999-07-14

This recording was a revelation.The ensemble singing was superb and the conductor had some new readings of some of the best known music in the world.I found the most outstanding element of this recording to be the singing of Raul Gimenez.Especially in the last act.The difficult final section of the opera was delivered with sublime ease!Get this opera,and enjoy!

Album Details

Italian Soprano Renata Tebaldi was One of the Most Important Post-war Sopranos to Tackle a Wide Range of Puccini Roles, and During the 1950s She Recorded Several Complete Opera Recordings. Some of the Operas were Recorded Twice — in Mono and Then in Stereo. Amongst Those which Tebaldi Committed to Disc in the Recording Studio on Two Occasions Must Be Included La Bohème and Madama Butterfly. It is the Earlier, Mono Recordings of These Two Operas which Are Included Here and They Reveal a Fresh-voiced Tebaldi in Recordings Which, Despite the Stereo Remakes, have Stood the Test of Time.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Excellent introduction to Tebaldi's art.......2005-09-29

This set covers the entire productive years of Tebaldi's recording career. Turandot, Butterfly and Boheme are from her earlier career while Tosca is from her later career. Since this Tosca recording is now out of print and is somewhat hard to find, this recording itself almost worth the cost of the set. In Turandot, you will find Tebaldi at her fresher voice, lovely and melting. Eventhough I would still rate Callas' first recorded Tosca as my first choice, this Tosca comes very close. Enjoy.

5 out of 5 stars Wonderfull.......2005-08-19

Fantastic recordings at a very good price. Tebaldi and Del Monaco rule. You should definetely own this set.

5 out of 5 stars Classic Renata.......2005-03-16

To say that these 12 disks contain some of the finest singing ever committed to disk is no exaggeration, but a simple statement of fact. Historical fact. In the 100 years (more or less) that Puccini operas have been around, only a few sopranos in each generation have been the equal of Renata Tebaldi. One cannot objectively say that anyone has surpassed her. Some opera lovers find her peerless in many of these performances. Personal tastes in singers vary, but no one ever sang these roles better. Few anywhere nearly so well. There is not a single note on any of these recordings that is not heartfelt to the core of her being. Like Maria Callas and Franco Corelli, she was luminous, gargantuan in her talent that personified an age. This is one of the great compilations.

5 out of 5 stars Charming, Delicate Performance.......2003-03-26

"Cenerentola" is Rossini at his best. The music is manic, engaging and funny, and Marriner and his orchestra and cast are up to the challenge without a weak link amongst them.

Agnes Baltsa plays the lead on this album. The chief rival on recording is of course the version with Cecilia Bartoli as Cinderella and Enzo Dara as Don Magnifico. Where Ms. Bartoli is a showman pulling notes out of left field and displaying a triumphant coloratura, Agnes Baltsa sticks to a more dramatically truthful portrayal. Her Cinderella is both thoughtful and forgiving. Where Ms. Bartoli is spectacular, Ms. Baltsa is beautiful. She gives a real characterization to a girl trapped by a dysfunctional family.

Francisco Araiza as the prince is a real treat. He has a good comic touch and a voice that blends tremendously well with Ms. Baltsa's. Mr. Araiza wins out in all aspects in regards to the role of the Prince compared to the other recordings available.

The Duet when Cinderella and the Prince meet is a burst of pure happiness where Araiza and Baltsa actually take the time to match each others coloratura phrasing virtually note for note, instead of showing off individually, which really delivers the full emotional payoff of Rossini's composing. It's as if these two were meant for each other, not because the music has them declare their love through coloratura passages, but because when they do, they're already in perfect synch.

The stand out performance on this album is that of Ruggero Raimondi as Don Magnifico. Truly, this is a magnificent man. I was laughing out loud during his performance. While he has never tackled the role on stage, you would hardly know it. On the other recording his rival is Enzo Dara, who in my opinion is a better Don Magnifico, but Raimondi finds such humor in Rossini's delightful music that it make this a recording well worth owning. His aria about the dignified donkey is worth the price of the CD alone... and he's got three more great songs to come. He takes a few of the songs at a noticably slower pace than Dara, but he gives you a delightful performance during the wait.

A few other things that stand out are the ensemble "Cenerentola, vien qua" which is taken at such a clip that it hardly seems possible. Also, in the ensembles the singers make sure to blend harmonies without showing each other up like on the other available recordings.

Dandini and Alidoro or very capable, Dandini is particularly amusing, and Clorina and Tisbe are hands down the best sisters on recording.

If You follow my advice, buy this recording. It's wonderful.
