Customer Reviews:

This is a fantastic deal!.......2007-02-25

If you are a fan at all of the Four Seasons you should love this music. I will admit right now that I am a classical music fan. I don't write or perform it. I am a novice listener. I have never taken any music lessons(though I am leaning in that direction) and certainly have not gone through any university music training. I started out in rock and roll but found classical as I got older and fell in love with it a few years ago.

With that context in mind I do hope I am able to recognize quality and this work is of the highest. It helps when you are starting with good ingredients in the first place. You can't bake great bread without great ingredients and Vivaldi's music library has some of the greatest musical ingredients of the last 300 years. They are very much the foundation for modern western culture and music. His talent is woven through what we are

The first 26 CDs are instrumental starting with the four seasons and working through many of the Master's many popular works. I will admit the four seasons are not the best interpretation I have heard but it is definitely acceptable. The rest of the music shows us many facets of the Baroque style and you can see themes emerging through some of the pieces that give us a 'fingerprint' of Vivaldi's style and the parameters of the stylistic leanings of the genre at the time. If you want to immerse yourself in 18th century music this is your chance

This music would be ideal for someone who owns a store and is looking for background music. With over 26 CDs of instrumental music alone you could have those constantly looping and you'd probably never get bored of them(OK I may be stretching it a little there). The reason is that the music does not leave a bad 'aftertaste' in your mind. It fits into the background as easily and naturally as it is to listen to it consciously in the foreground. If you are a fan of classical Baroque you don't usually need to be in the mood for this, it will adjust your mood to itself and Vivaldi's music is almost always of an uplifting sort if this collection is any indication. If you want something to listen to at your job 8 hours per day this is good for the mind and it would take you over a week to get through it if you listened to it every minute of every work day. You will also work without the worry of the music distracting your concentration. I find it enhances it when I'm working. I don't know how well this would work on school kids but teachers might want to try playing this during school time. You may create a few geniuses, we certainly could use more!

If you are looking for something to ease your sleep and oil your dreams I have put these CD's on in the background. Not only can I easily fall asleep when they are playing quietly in the background but it helps you sleep and you wake up in a very pleasant atmosphere if the music is still playing quietly when you wake(you probably would need to rip them to your MP3 player to do that). It's like napping at a classical music concert without the worry of being nudged by your spouse or offending the other concert goers with your snoring. That will be quite a unique experience for you and possibly give you some real sweet dreams. It has for me

So to wrap it up this is very intelligent, uplifting music that is great for your mind and your soul. It is definitely worth the purchase if you are a fan of the Four Seasons and the Baroque genre in my novice classical music fan's opinion

Excellent, Broad Selection.......2007-01-25

This 40-cd collection affords me a rare pleasure almost daily: the thrill of hearing something new by Vivaldi. Despite my best efforts over the years, I've managed to miss hearing a lot of great works by the master. Listening to a single CD now and then, catching tunes on the radio... you can't possibly get a comprehensive understanding of Vivaldi's output that way.

But when you work your way systematically from CD 1 through 40, you're sure to find many pleasant surprises. I've been skipping through everything I already know -- in some cases, it has only taken me about a minute to get through a whole CD (first 3 seconds of each track is usually enough). But then I stop and listen carefully three or four times to anything that's new.

Ah, what a pleasure. I've already acquired some new favorites. And some old standbys have proved even more rewarding, e.g. at first I thought RV 127 (CD 7, tracks 10-12) was performed too slowly (Naxos No: 8.553742 is much faster), but now I'm not sure; maybe it's BETTER that way! I can't recommend this set highly enough.

$70....when was this???.......2006-11-25

Wish the cost was $70 now. Guess the record producer (or Amazon) got tired of making less than $2 per CD.

$70/40... you do the math........2006-04-07

No, I don't own this collection...yet. However, the price of the collection compels me to review it beforehand. Never have I seen such a complete collection of Vivaldi compositions at such an incredibly low price. At $1.75 dollars a CD, the record producer (Brilliant Classics) isn't making much of a profit. The compilation pulls some of its works from DG Achiv Produktion's vault (see Standage), such as the violin concertos, as well as from unknown producers (the Poland Philharmonic Chamber Orchestra is heavily featured). The collection is so complete that it is academic, and I would not be surprised if music libraries quickly emptied it from Amazon's shelves. The collection is simply worth it for the incredible price (English Concert's recording of the violin concertos cost nearly 30 bucks, and is exactly featured here). Overall, the price alone makes this collection exceptionally attractive, and the ensembles featured aren't bad either.

Those who prefer 17th- and 18th-century music performed in a "historically correct" manner may balk, but these "old songs and arias" ("arie antiche") are beautifully presented and sung. It's not that Ramón Vargas approaches them in a verismo style or that he overexclaims them. Rather, he sings with ardor, generous portamento, and a Romantic, cushioned voice filled with vibrato and expression. At the same time, Vargas embellishes the vocal line in very much the style popular and proper 200 and 300 years ago, and these embellishments are attractive and in excellent taste. But the voice is the thing, and it's gorgeous and beautifully used. The opening, earliest song (for instance) is sung sweetly and softly from start to finish--it's hard to recall the last time one heard such sustained elegant, gentle vocalism from a major tenor. Vargas never overstates his case, and by refusing to do so, sells us these brief, lovely items one at a time. Another winner from this unique tenor. --Robert Levine

Those who love Mr Vargas' singing will probably be satisfied.
His voice is beautiful and this repertoire is most apt to show it to advantage. His technique is good (some problems with pianos), his agility commendable.

Those instead looking for an adequate rendering of old arias will find this compilation lacking: he chose (as declared in the booklet) to ignore philologicas and stylistical issues, singing them beautifully but also romantically, as late Donizetti or early Verdi. Problem is that this, to educated ears, sounds incredibly wrong, nearly inaudible.

A pity: with more attention to style this could have been a useful compilation for singing students too. Such as it is, it is only good for Mr Vargas' fans.

He missed the point.......2005-11-12

I am sorry I bought this album. I did not listen to the sound bytes first...my bad! Vargas croons his way through music that has been orchestated out of all recognition. It sounds syrupy and sentimental, not intensely emotional. The Carissimi is a joke! The Scarlatti is painful to hear. There are too many fine performances of 17th & 18th century music out there for this to pass muster. For example, if you want to hear Bononcini as he should be sung, listen to Martin Oro or Gerard Lesne. My recommendation is a most emphatic "NO".

A (perhaps too) romantic approach to some old favorites.......2003-11-27

Ramon Vargas is probably the most elegant and classy tenor singing today. If I may be forgiven an ethnic cliche, the Mexican singer's voice reminds me of dulce del leche ice cream - rich, sweet, and smooth as caramel. Having sung both on stage and on records a wide operatic repertory ranging from bel canto to French works to Puccini and Verdi, Vargas now turns his efforts to this album of arie antiche entitled (rather unimaginatively, I think) `Nel Mio Cuore' - In My Heart. Nearly all lovers of classical vocal music are familiar with the songs represented on this disc; many singers have recorded them and just about everybody who has ever had a voice lesson has studied at least some of them. The defining feature of these songs - which is why they are used by voice students - is that while it is easy to learn the basics of singing them, it takes true expertise to handle all their technical challenges and to bring out all their nuances. If some misguided performance practice decisions make the CD a less than total success, Vargas' vocal beauty, excellent technique and total commitment make this a mostly very enjoyable listen.

As Vargas says in his brief comments, he wants to sing this music in a more 'romantic', (i.e. unrestrained and overtly emotional) manner than many other performers do, to bring a 21st century sensibility to mostly 17th and 18th century music. Vargas as a child was a soloist in the choir of the Basilica Guadalupe of Mexico City, and it was standard procedure there to sing sacred music from this and earlier periods that way. While this approach to the actual singing works very well, I am not entirely happy with the decision to use a small 'salon' orchestra instead of the usual piano or harpsichord, and I suspect many will agree with me on this. I don't object to orchestral arrangements on principle - the arrangements of the arie antiche recorded by Richard Tucker on the superb CD 'The Soul of Italy' work very well, particularly the delightful 'Gia sole del Gange'. On this disc, however, few of the arrangements (by Sascha Goetzel and Joseph Turrin) really enhance the music or make it more interesting, and sometimes they just get in the way. Perhaps in an actual salon or concert setting, this wouldn't be as big a problem. In general, the best arrangements are the most quiet and unobtrusive ones, such as 'Nina' or 'Plaisir d'amour', allowing Vargas to sing softly and tenderly instead of just ardently. The major exception to this is actually the best track on the disc, `Sebben crudele', where the music helps Vargas' anguish and pain reach appropriately operatic proportions. Gluck's `O del mio dolce ardor', an actual opera selection often sung with orchestra, also responds well to this treatment. For most of the other selections, however, it might be helpful to play individual selections or a few at a time instead of the entire album at once, and I wouldn't advise playing it at much more than medium volume.

The good news, though, is that Vargas sings this music with real passion, warmth, and style. The arrangements may require him to sing the music more loudly than many singers do but he never forces or shouts - his heart may be on his sleeve, but is sincere and never vulgar. He pays close attention to the meaning of the words and is musically sensitive and expressive. His Italian diction is excellent, although his French could be a bit crisper. His long experience with bel canto operas makes runs and articulated grace notes easy for him, and he inserts some lovely decorations. The musicians, led by pianist Katherine Chu, do an excellent job with what they are given, and Vargas should actually have been credited as their conductor. I note particularly the beautiful wind playing in 'Teco, si, vengo anch'io'.

In addition to Vargas' comments, there are also notes on the music and full texts and translations. However, I thought the tone of the notes was just a bit too defensive of the more 'modern' approach. All the musicians are listed by name, a nice touch.

The sheer beauty of Vargas' voice, his enthusiasm and his sincerity should set aside most objections to the performance decisions made here. However, I would definitely recommend a more 'traditional' piano-or-harpsichord-accompanied set of this music alongside this if you don't already have one. Cecilia Bartoli's 'Se Tu M'Ami' is essential, and I would also suggest that if you are interested in hearing the music sung by a tenor, you should listen to Alfredo Kraus, especially since many opera lovers consider Vargas to be an heir to this late great Spaniard. Also, Vargas' 'Canzoni' album, from a live concert in Mexico City, shows how wonderful his voice sounds with piano in Italian and Mexican songs - including 'Gia sole del gange' sung in much the same way it is here. It's at super-budget price, too. Still, `Nel Mio Cuore' will give admirers of this lovely tenor the opportunity to wallow in a wonderful voice and experience the heart of an artist.

Adequate.......2003-05-20

Lovely music, but somehow I find it not very involving. Listen to it some, if possible and see if it really is what you are looking for.

Highly Recommended.......2003-03-10

Every beginning classical singer works on these arias that Vargas chose for this album, so naturally, they are often heard and almost always abused. Vargas makes them music again. Absolutely stunning work. He is the real thing - voice, brains and musicality. This combination is sadly lacking in many of todays top operatic stars.

My favourite mezzo-soprano.......2005-04-29

This is absolutely my favourite music! I am a huge fan of renaissance and baroque music and I also love Monica Groops beautiful dramatic mezzosoprano voice; so, this cd was a perfect choice. All the songs and arias fit well to Groop; I love the coloraturas in "Sta nell'ircana" and "Danza fanciulla"; "Che faró", "Plaisir d'amour" and other slow pieces are sung very softly and legatos are excellent. Many other mezzos have problems with vibrato; they use too much vibrato and their voice shake. Groop doesn't have this kind of problems. She also articulates quite well; I had no problem to hear the words of the recitativo in "Frondi tenere-Ombra mai fu". I also like Groop's skills to improvisate in Händel's arias, especially in "Ombra mai fu." My dream is to see Monica Groop on the stage in a leading role of a baroque opera.

I recommend this cd to anyone who likes old vocal music. If you liked Cecilia Bartoli's Se tu m'ami, you will like this too! If you don't like Bartoli's small voice, Groop is a very good alternative.

Just a great singing!.......2004-04-08

Professional singer myself (visit my web site-www.magdalenamoulson.com),I was surprised that I've never heard
about Monica Groop before.From the first notes I felt fascination for her amazing vocal technique and beautiful timbre of her voice.Effortless ,light singing , simple ,elegant style without fake affectation of some "world famous mezzos", makes this Cd a real found.Wonderful artist and great CD!
I think I will buy all Cd's of her!

SKIP Cecilia Bartoli--go straight to Monica Groop.......2004-02-29

This is some *gorgeous* and incredible singing. Monica Groop's delivery is honest, fresh, and welcome. If you want a recording of "arie amorose" I suggest this one or Janet Baker's. Since both Ms. Baker and Ms. Groop are fantastic singers, they needn't rely on annoying mannerisms like Cecilia Bartoli does. And we have only the record labels to thank for the Bartoli's success. Monica Groop has a rich, velvety mezzo sound. This CD is fantastic.

Amazing CD, I have been waiting for an album like this.......2002-03-04

This is a great album, very refreshing and relaxing, CD sound quality is excellent. Monica Groop's voice flies like an angel.
I can't stop listening to this CD. My boyfriend, who usually doesn't care for classical music, even likes it!

Stellar, LIquid Gold--DON'T MISS THIS ONE!.......2001-05-22

This CD is a revelation in a period when many of us cry for a REAL singer to emerge on the scene. Finnish singer Monica Groop has ALL the goods. A truly complete singer who defies categories or labels-though billed as a mezzo-soprano, she has no fear of the heights, sailing easily to high B's, beautifully, without effort. This woman is a true artist and should have the publicity and career that many LESSER singers have achieved.

Not since the celebrated artistry of the likes of Sutherland, Tebaldi, Callas, to name a few, have I been this taken with a singer. Groop's extremely varied and complete repertoire defies categorizing this singer as yet another "early music girl." She has complete vocal fluidity and ornamentation in all the right places-indeed her ornamentation and coloratura are accurate, impeccable and clear with a beautiful legato. No huffing and chugging here! Yet one can hear her other recordings: of Bach, Grieg, Sibelius, Brahms and Schubert lieder and song, and understand this is a voice full of beauty and tone, no "paring down" to wisps of flight and fancy for the Baroque and early music! Monica Groop sings with a warm, full and creamy tone that has golden shimmer and excitement.

This disc is one of the finest recital discs I have ever come across. It has moved to a place of honor on the same shelf as Sutherland's "Art of the Prima Donna." The selection of 6 Handel arias left me screaming for more! The pieces show beautiful lyric singing, astounding coloratura and simply breathtaking ornamentation. The orchestra, conducted by Juha Kangas is completely involved. Stylistic and musical playing are extraordinary, one example of which is the horn player fearlessly responding with like ornamentation and joining in the cadenza in the stellar "Vo tacito e nascosto" from Guilio Cesare. The additional pieces by Gluck, Purcell (Dido's Lament should go in the history books along t\with Jessye Norman's performance) are equally well performed and are a perfect complement to the Handel. Rounding out the disc are 6 pieces from "Arie Antiche" which have beautifully orchestrated by the conductor.

Customer Reviews:

Fascinating compilation of a forgotten soprano.......2002-06-11

In the 1920s, there were two "Rosas" in the world of opera: Rosa Ponselle and Rosa Raisa. They sang many of the same roles, and were generally considered among the best dramatic sopranos of their time. Since then, not a year goes by without some Opera News tribute to Rosa Ponselle, while Rosa Raisa up until now has been largely forgotten. Now, thanks to Ward Marston's 3 CD set and Charles Mintzer's biography, we are 'rediscovering' the woman who created Puccini's Turandot.
Raisa refused to listen to her own recordings, saying they did not do her justice. And they probably did not. From all accounts hers was a gigantic, somewhat undisciplined voice (although flexible enough to sing Norma and other bel canto roles) and, like Leontyne Price's voice, it was an 'inverted triangle' -- strong on top and weaker on bottom. We can hear this in her records -- huge high C's that are not recorded very well, but the bottom is often unattractively hollow, with many glottal gulps, with some old-fashioned chest voice often thrown in. Raisa never attached herself to a major recording company until late in life, and her first recordings for Pathe are a real trial to listen to. One wonders if she had a Victor contract whether her voice would have sounded better. Surprisingly for a woman known more for vocal opulence than acting ability, the sound of the voice itself is often rather bland -- slightly nasal and not all that memorable. Raisa was born Jewish and people have commented that it was a 'semitic' voice -- it does seem to lack the warmth and vibrancy of, say, Claudia Muzio's instrument.
So why listen to her at all? For one, there are several tracks which are truly spectacular and show what the fuss was all about. Her rendition of the Bolero from "I Vespri" is one of those moments. Raisa was also well-schooled in the bel canto tradition -- she had an excellent trill and in 'Ah bello a mi ritorna" (she records both verses) the runs in the very embellished second verse are both flamboyant and very accurate. Unlike Rosa Ponselle, whose recordings are all very similar -- absolutely vocally magnificent -- Raisa is one of those singers where one must 'dig' for treasures. She ranges from astonishing to mediocre to frankly awful. She was known as a somewhat variable performer, and this quality might have translated to the studio too. Listen to an awkward "O patria mia" where she is both flat and wiry on her high C, and you might wonder what the fuss is all about. Listen to a beautifully sung, expressive "La altra notte" and there is no doubt that when Raisa was on, she was truly one of the greatest singers of her time.
The third cd is 'filled out' with an extended interview with the aged diva, where she sounds down-to-earth and fun, with none of the bitterness and hauteur one would associate with an aged "Norma Desmond."

Customer Reviews:

Galante is not all that.......2002-11-14

I was very disappointed in this CD, especially after reading two 5 star reviews. The musical selections are great, but Galante's vocal tone is very inconsistent. Not only did it sound as if she was singing in an echo chamber, her singing fluctuated between the back of her throat and her nose. If you are looking for a CD to demonstrate good vocal technique, look elsewhere.

Inessa just gets better and better.......2001-10-02

Let's hope this CD is back in stock soon, as no lover of great voices would want to be without it.

I loved Galante on both the Debut and Encore CDs, but here she is nothing short of sensational. Her marvellously seductive soprano has never sounded better than on this 1999 recording, and her vocal technique is faultless. For a prime example of the latter, try the Caccini Ave Maria for which she is justly famous. Galante tops her own celebrated recording! Her vocal agility (along with new-found colours in the voice) will astound listeners.

Unlike her earlier version, the Ave Maria, along with the remainder of the CD, is beautifully arranged in the appropriate period setting. The London Musici provide marvellous support throughout, and the sound is excellent.

There are so many highlights that it seems unnecessary to single any one track out. But I will say that the Ave Maria and Handel's Lascia ch'io pianga are worth the price of the CD alone.

If you only want to own one Inessa Galante CD, then this is the one to go for.

Pergolesi is so perfect!.......2000-07-20

I have always loved the Pergolesi Suite but here it is perfected! Dont get me wrong.....the rest of the cd is excellent but Stabat Mater is the highlight. This cd is a must have and wont end up being a substitute for a coaster!
