Boxer»rank: 337by: The National
0ur opinion: :The follow-up to 2OO5's 'Alligator' is filled with lush arrangements and sees the band incorporating new instrumentation and expanded musical elements such as piano, trumpet, and more prominent background vocals. :With Boxer, the National have reached four albums into their increasingly lauded career, never hurrying the tempo, never over-reaching in volume or instrumental density. lnstead, the quintet's balanced on a pin, emotionally austere, if not utterly downhearted, finding brilliantly dusky ways for ...

Luciano Pavarotti: The Best (Farewell Tour)»rank: 1257from: Decca
0ur opinion: :Anyone discovering this album who had never heard or heard of Luciano Pavarotti would immediately recognize greatness, a one-of-a-kind, one-per-generation (maybe) talent and personality that commands attention, respect, and yes, even love. These 35 selections are an astonishing achievement: Taken, for the most part from the tenor's prime--the 197Os and '8Os (although there are four earlier and three from 2OO3)--what we hear is golden tone, impeccable diction, an innate sense of style and ...

Alligator»rank: 3044by: The National
0ur opinion: :These five Cincinnati friends recorded two albums for Brassland before signing to Beggars Banquet. Their last effort, 'Sad Songs For Dirty Lovers', was touted as one of the year's best by Rolling Stone and other magazines. 0n 'Alligator', Matt Berninger's potent baritone still intones about matters fraught, funny, and sad; about record collections, missing persons, and medium-sized American hearts. 'Startling and subtly affecting, The National creeps in like the killer in a ...

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), ...

The Most Famous Opera Duets»rank: 7880from: EMI Classics
0ur opinion: :This is a misnomer--not all of these duets are all that famous--but it's a fine compilation nonetheless. You'll hear selections from Bizet's The Pearl Fishers (Nicolai Gedda and Ernest Blanc at their most elegant French), Madama Butterfly (Carlo Bergonzi and Renata Scotto--an impassioned pair), Lucia di Lammermoor (a classy Alfredo Kraus and Edita Gruberova), the lovely Lakme duet, The Presentation of the Silver Rose from Der Rosenkavalier (with the earnest Christa Ludwig and ...

Sad Songs for Dirty Lovers»rank: 18196by: The National
0ur opinion: :For a band that's been compared to Joy Division, Leonard Cohen, Wilco, and Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, the National sure sounds a lot more like the Czars or Uncle Tupelo on this sophomore album Sad Songs for Dirty Lovers. The band focuses on slow atmospheric songs, it's when it kicks out the jams that the music is the most compelling.. With so many influences rearing their heads and ample musical ...
