Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
This is an ideal introduction to some great music for both classical first-time toe-dippers, and people who have some knowledge of classical music but want to get more ideas about other composers they might like. The artists are household names, and can be heard singing or playing music with which they have become particularly associated: Luciano Pavarotti sings "Nessun Dorma", for example, and Lesley Garrett sings in the duet from Lakmé (music used in a British Airways advert). The music crosses all styles and genres, from the full operatic experience of the Act 1 duet from La Bohéme, through the ethereal sounds of New College Choir in John Tavener's Song for Athene (heard at the funeral of Princess Diana) to the cool, ironic score for the film The Piano by Michael Nyman, so there really is something for everyone. There are even some unexpected unfamiliar treats: baroque soprano Emma Kirkby sings a little-known aria by Vivaldi, for example. And at 76 and 78 minutes of music on each disc, it all feels very generous. --Warwick Thompson
