Excellent artists and recording. Ideal for someone who loves opera and prefers to listen to the more melodic parts. Lovely arias and duets from start to finish. Really enjoyed it.
This was really enjoyable. Great Tunes to listen to. I really enjoyed this album from front to back. It really has a great feel to it and extremely rhythmatic. i appreciate the lyrics as well as the instruments that compose each song and most importantly, I appreciate in great length the voice behind it all. All components mesh quite well in every song. Loved every bit of it.
