Puccini - La Boheme (The Metropolitan Opera HD Live Series)

Angela Gheorghiu, Ramon Vargas

Emi Classics, 2008

It doesn't get any better than this!
I believe I own a copy of every commercial CD recording of "La Boheme," as well as several DVDs of live performances and this DVD is BY FAR my favorite. I even saw the Zeffirelli production at the Met live with Gheorghiu and Alagna the afternoon after they got ...

Luciano Pavarotti: The Best (Farewell Tour)

Eric Garrett, Rolando Panerai, ...

Wonderful, of course!

Four Last Songs

Richard Strauss, Christian Thielemann, ...

Decca, 2008

Strauss singing at the highest level of achievement
It says something sad about the current state of opera recordings that Renee Fleming hasn't been given a complete Strauss role on disc, not the Marschallin or Ariadne. As evidenced here, she is uniquely gifted to assume those roles, as well as to sing Strauss's ...

Baby Einstein - Baby Mozart - Music Festival

WALT DISNEY VIDEO, 2004

Life Saver
This product was recommended to me by my cousin. It has been well worth the $15-and then some. My son loves it-and has loved it since he was 3 months old. He's now 11 months and will still sit & watch it. I actually enjoy watching it myself-it's very intriguing. ...

One Chance

Paul Potts

Sony, 2007

Simply outstanding
Many seem to want to compare Paul Potts to the great opera tenors past and present and point out that he is not technically as proficient as they are/were. These observations may be true, they may be opinion, they may be irrelevant seeing how most of the songs on One ...

A 21st Century Classic
John Adams' "Doctor Atomic" is a classic in the making. These DVDs were recorded at the Netherlands Opera in June 2007, in a co-production with the San Francisco Opera (which premiered the work in October 2005) and the Lyric Opera of Chicago. The Met will stage and ...
