I was very disappointed. Admittedly the filming was very good, but I was expecting much more. In future I will stick with grand opera. Am I wrong but did not Domingo have a famous aria to sing in Pagliacci? Where was it?

2.Mario Lanza: The Ultimate Collection from: RCA January 22, 1994

A superb collection of some of Mario Lanza's finest recordings. Considering some go back to 1949 - 1958, the recordings to CD are excellent. You'll never walk alone, sung as it was originally intended by the great Mario Lanza. A perfect collection for new comers or fans looking for the best of Mario Lanza. A track for every occassion.

I bought this CD solely for the recording of Leoncavallo's Pagliacci, rather than Mascagni's Cavaliers Rusticana (which is nevertheless performed brilliantly). Having read reviews of di Stefano's performance I wanted to hear for myself. Indeed, as some reviewers have already commented, his rendition of Canio eclipses all others that I have heard, including that of Caruso. During the famous aria "Vesti la giubba", his voice is so powerful and emotionally charged there is no other recording quite like it. Although Callas' voice at the time of recording was starting to lose its quality, her rendition of Nedda is still very beautiful and gives the impression that Nedda is a real woman with powerful emotions (unlike some other ...

I'd owned the EMI Classics recording of Cavalleria Rusticana & I Pagliacci for some time and wanted to hear other versions, so turned to ArkivMusic.com, which I've always found to carry a very comprehensive selection of classical music. I bought this recording, not from Arkiv as they then didn't ship to the UK (they do now), along with the Domingo/Scotto/Levine RCA Red Seal Cavalleria Rusticana, and shortly afterwards gave my EMI Classics C & P to a charity shop. I'm not a music critic, so I won't write at length, I'll just say I love listening to this recording, it's often moved me to tears, it's so good.

10.Nyiregyhazi at the Opera from: VAI Audio November 01, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: £14.19 Prices subject to change. Used Price: £34.31
Nyiregyhazi had a very bumpy career, beginning as a child prodigy around World War 1, then ignored for five decades, before being rediscovered in the late 70's. This CD was made at that time, but it can barely contain the huge sound he produces in big passages. The piano is not the best either, suffering from his tendency to force the tone a little above forte. His transcriptions are obviously based on those of Liszt, but are very original. In view if the recorded quality and his slightly eccentric interpretations, I would recommend this only to those interested in the 'grand tradition' that goes back to Liszt himself, a very subjective manner of playing that is now rather unfashionable, but nonetheless fascinating.
