5.0 out of 5 stars Soprano, 11 Oct 2010

Gekko (Liverpool UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Very Best of (Audio CD)
Strauss's Four Last Songs by Jessye Norman. Having heard several other famous opera singers, Jessye Norman is in my opinion the best.

3.0 out of 5 stars Jessye Norman, 11 April 2010
By 
Barb Hope (Swansea, Wales, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Very Best of (Audio CD)
C.D
Jessye Norman's voice is truly wonderful however Disk 1 music is more melodic and therefore more appealing
Disk 2 music choice will need more playing time to enable me to pass an opinion but the voice and technical
ability is beyond question.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Selection, 18 Nov 2010
By Garry Feeney "Greybeard" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Very Best of (Audio CD)
This is a splendid selection from this singer's back catalogue. I find it seemless and am never tempted to skip anything. There are many shades and colours from Wagner to twentieth century compositions that should present no challanges to those who generally avoid the modern. There is not much point commenting on the singer. Like all opera singers, it is a matter of individual preferences. Norman is my kind of singer, dramatic, emotive, moving and vocally splendid by turns. It's a great voice yes, but it's great singing. That's what I think it's all about.
