| 1. |  | Messiah (George Frederick Handel) London Philharmonic Orchestra by Handel Price: $9.99 Customer Review:  I find it completely ridiculous that there is evidently not an option to preview even one single recording of Handel's Messiah on this website. How in the world am I supposed to know which one I want to buy? A boycott is sounding like a good idea right now. |

| 2. |  | Puccini - Turandot / Sutherland · Pavarotti · Caballé · Ghiaurov · Krause · Pears · LPO · Mehta from Decca Price: $30.49 Customer Review:  What incredibly beautiful music this is! Puccini's "Turandot" is my all time favorite and this cast gives a stellar performance on his final, unfinished work. I bought this CD only because I wanted Pavarotti's version of "Nessun Dorma," but I was pleasantly surprised by how wonderful the full... |

| 3. |  | Handel - Messiah / Harper, Watts, Wakefield, Shirley-Quirk, LSO, C. Davis by George Frideric Handel Price: $14.99 Customer Review:  From the opening Sinfonia, this Messiah is far too subdued. While it may be nuanced and even, it lacks passion, grandeur and any sense of the sacred, and has little narrative drive. The Choruses, except for the Hallelujah Chorus, have little majesty. There is also something wrong with the sound mix.... |

| 4. |  | Beethoven: The Complete Symphonies and Piano Concertos from EMI Classics Price: $43.97 Customer Review: Otto Klemperer conducts the definitive performances of the Beethoven symphonies. The transition of the original recordings to a modern digitalized format is itself beautifully crafted so that each layer of the orchestra is given its own unique setting and place. An outstanding production of this... |

| 5. |  | The Ultimate Puccini Collection by Giacomo Puccini Price: $13.99 Customer Review: When I was in Lucca, It., the birthplace of Puccini, we attended a concert in a local church that was so beautiful. This CD brought me right back there. A lovely way to spend time listening to Puccini. |

| 6. |  | Hymns Triumphant 1 & 2 by Lee Holdridge Price: $10.99 Customer Review: We couldn't be happier with this album! Having been raised in the Methodist tradition our world was brightened by this music and listening to the music is like going home! My husband, from England and the anglican tradition, says that was raised with this music also, and loves to relax... |

| 7. |  | Amore: Romantic Italian Love Songs from Decca Price: $13.99 Customer Review: Pavarotti is without doubt the greatest tenor for the last several decades. Even if you're not an opera fan, you'll enjoy this cd. |

| 9. |  | Carmen / Troyanos, Domingo, van Dam, Te Kanawa; Sir Georg Solti by Georges Bizet Price: $50.98 Customer Review: First of all, History: Carmen is not a grand opera. The belief in the opposite is one of the most artistically catastrophic malapropisms in the history of Western music. Georges Bizet, the greatest French composer of his day (in the world of Charles Gounod and Jacques Offenbach), is remembered... |

| 10. |  | Massenet: Thaïs / Sills, Milnes, Gedda; Maazel by Jules Massenet Customer Review: I have this recording on LP from the 70's but I had forgotten what beautiful music is in this opera.I was stunned when I heard the CD here. There is little not to like, especially the wonderful singing of Miss Sills and Mr. Milnes. One wonders why Miss Sills did not sing this role more in her career... |
