- Good selection: awful concept.
The tracks on this cd are excellent and well worth the money. I get worried about the packaging of this sort of disc though because it reminds me of Tesco's attempt to sell wine to the masses by renaming a mediocre chablis as 'Good with meat' or whatever.

Once again though: the music is very good and the performances are excellent on the whole.

- the album lives up to its title
Many people discover Opera at different stages of their life. This is an excellent introduction to Opera and beautiful background music. Hearing familiar arias only encourages you to see the real thing. For the novice you just can't go wrong.
