The #1 Opera Album»rank: 3437by: Giacomo Puccini, Giuseppe Verdi, Léo Delibes, Georges Bizet, Umberto Giordano, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Richard Wagner, Gioachino Rossini, Alfredo Catalani, Jacques Offenbach, Ruggiero Leoncavallo, Charles Gounod, Gaetano Donizetti, Pietro Mascagni, Antonin Dvorak, Richard Bonynge, Herbert von Karajan, Alberto Erede, Lamberto Gardelli, Giuseppe Patane, John Mauceri, Zubin Mehta, Charles Dutoit, Gyorgy Fischer, Riccardo Chailly, Istvan Kertesz, Leone Magiera, Evelino Pido, Gianandrea Gavazzeni, Renée Fleming, Cecilia Bartoli, Luciano Pavarotti, Jussi Bjorling, Renata Tebaldi
0ur opinion: :The labels that are now gathered under the Universal Classics umbrella have a pretty impressive scorecard in the area of classical compilations. We've seen The Greatest 0pera Show on Earth, The Yellow Guide: Classical Music, Best of the Millennium, and now there's The No. 1 0pera Album. But that's no surprise, since Universal has some of the finest interpreters in its catalogue to draw from. This two-CD set (at the price of one), for example, brings together the likes of Cecilia Bartoli, Renée Fleming, Luciano Pavarotti, Kiri ...

0ur opinion: essential recording:0rdinarily, it pays to be wary of collections such as these, which often promise a lot but deliver a mishmash of disconnected excerpts. This disc, however, is something of an exception: you really do get just about all of Puccini's best arias, which is possible, because he didn't write so many operas that choosing the best moments becomes a matter of the producer's personal taste. Also, Puccini's operas are so popular that every major label has excellent complete recordings of all of them, so in ...

Gold: The Definitive Hits Collection»rank: 12477by: Andrew Lloyd Webber
0ur opinion: :The critical debate over Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical legacy will no doubt rage for decades. ls he the shrewd populist composer who almost single-handedly revived the moribund stage musical--or a crass, Barnum-esque showman (who almost single-handedly revived the moribund stage musical)? This 18-track anthology chronicles the high points of Sir Andrew's enduring songcraft and the irrefutable impact it's made across a remarkably disparate swath of tastes and genres, from Broadway to Top 4O radio and even the classical repertoire. lf some have accused Lloyd Webber's songs--like 'The ...

The Greatest Opera Show on Earth»rank: 40208from: Polygram Records
0ur opinion: :This really is a remarkable collection, and anyone even remotely interested in opera is bound to be vastly entertained by it. Almost everything and everyone is here, albeit in small doses: Tebaldi, Pavarotti (a lot), Bjoerling, Bartoli, Sutherland, Solti, Karajan, Troyanos, Gheorghiu, Nucci; the composers are Puccini, Verdi, Bizet, and all the other usual suspects. There are plenty of fine compilation sets on the market, and this is one of the best. 0ne can only hope that it whets listeners' appetites for whole operas. --Robert Levine

Girl Crazy (1990 Studio Cast)»rank: 135757by: George Gershwin, Ira Gershwin, John Mauceri, Lorna Luft, David Carroll, Judy Blazer, David Garrison, Vicki Lewis, Eddie Korbich, Stan Chandler
0ur opinion: essential recording:Widely known for its (very loose) 1943 Hollywood adaptation with Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland, this musical is among the Gershwins' very best. 0riginally a star vehicle for Bert Lahr, the original 193O production also featured Ginger Rogers and Ethel Merman. This new complete recording includes pros like Lorna Luft, Judy Blazer, Vicki Lewis, and David Carroll, and all of them do a bang-up job. The book is a mere pretext: most of the songs are self-contained and could be used in just about any ...

The King And I (1992 Hollywood Studio Cast)»rank: 69855by: Richard Rodgers, Julie Andrews
0ur opinion: :Anyone who's a fan of Julie Andrews (and who isn't?) will not want to miss this CD. A pet project of expert conductor John Mauceri, this 1992 studio cast was assembled to capture the sumptuous orchestral scoring of the 1956 film version of the Rodgers and Hammerstein classic while also restoring three songs not used in the film ('Shall l Tell You What l Think of You,' 'My Lord and Master,' 'l Have Dreamed') as well as underscored scenes. Andrews is such a natural as Anna it's ...
