| 1. |  | Messiah (George Frederick Handel) London Philharmonic Orchestra by Handel Price: $9.99 Customer Review:  I find it completely ridiculous that there is evidently not an option to preview even one single recording of Handel's Messiah on this website. How in the world am I supposed to know which one I want to buy? A boycott is sounding like a good idea right now. |

| 2. |  | Puccini - Turandot / Sutherland · Pavarotti · Caballé · Ghiaurov · Krause · Pears · LPO · Mehta from Decca Price: $30.49 Customer Review:  What incredibly beautiful music this is! Puccini's "Turandot" is my all time favorite and this cast gives a stellar performance on his final, unfinished work. I bought this CD only because I wanted Pavarotti's version of "Nessun Dorma," but I was pleasantly surprised by how wonderful the full... |

| 3. |  | The Ultimate Puccini Collection by Giacomo Puccini Price: $13.99 Customer Review: When I was in Lucca, It., the birthplace of Puccini, we attended a concert in a local church that was so beautiful. This CD brought me right back there. A lovely way to spend time listening to Puccini. |

| 4. |  | Hymns Triumphant 1 & 2 by Lee Holdridge Price: $10.99 Customer Review: We couldn't be happier with this album! Having been raised in the Methodist tradition our world was brightened by this music and listening to the music is like going home! My husband, from England and the anglican tradition, says that was raised with this music also, and loves to relax... |

| 5. |  | Sanctuary from EMI Classics Price: $10.97 Customer Review: This album is a beautiful example of some of Arvo Part's best works. Each piece is thoroughly enjoyable and the entire collection makes a wonderful addition to anyone's music library. Arvo Part is one of the most important composers in contemporary music. |

| 7. |  | Wagner - Der Ring des Nibelungen (Ring Cycle) / Sir Georg Solti by Sir Georg Solti Price: $163.99 Customer Review: I started out with the Levine/Met dvd of this opera/cycle. As most reviewers know, that dvd tends to make the more subtle, quiet portions of the Ring seem endless (just check out the Die Walkure portion). I can't knock that dvd collection too much, because it at least gave me an idea of a more... |

| 8. |  | Saint-Saëns: Concertos by Lorin Maazel Price: $8.99 Customer Review: I'll admit I'm an unabashed lover of Saint-Saëns' music. (Goodness, why be apologetic?) Though the music can certainly sound derivative at times, the man knew how to write a compact score with substance and little fat -- and that also entertains! This CD is an incredible bargain consisting of... |

| 9. |  | Luciano Pavarotti: O Holy Night from Decca Customer Review: I had the lp when it first came out and I practically wore it out. I fell in love with Panis Angelicus from this album, among others. I was very happy to get the cd when it came out and sometimes I play it even if it's not Christmas. His voice sound so wonderful on this recording, at his prime.... |

| 10. |  | Carmen / Troyanos, Domingo, van Dam, Te Kanawa; Sir Georg Solti by Georges Bizet Price: $50.98 Customer Review: First of all, History: Carmen is not a grand opera. The belief in the opposite is one of the most artistically catastrophic malapropisms in the history of Western music. Georges Bizet, the greatest French composer of his day (in the world of Charles Gounod and Jacques Offenbach), is remembered... |

| 11. |  | The Classic Christmas Album from Deutsche Grammophon Price: $16.98 Customer Review: This is THE Christmas CD for the holidays. It has all the beautiful Christmas songs you want. Kiri Te Kanawa's version of Schubert's Ave Maria will bring tears to your eyes, Gabriel Faure's performance of Pie Jesu from Requim is simply beautiful, and the English Concert Choir's performance of... |

| 12. |  | José Carreras: The Golden Years from Philips Price: $14.99 Customer Review: Jose Carreras is one of the finer tenors of his era, without much question. This 2 CD set illustrates why one can say that. The first CD displays his operatic skills; the second focuses on more popular tunes, such as "O sole mio," "Funiculi funicula," and "Tonight." He shows a rich lyric tenor... |

| 13. |  | The Best Classical Album in the World... Ever! by Stanley Myers Price: $13.97 Customer Review: Many of these prior reviewers complain that the abundance of operas and vocals degrate this compilation. They don't know what they're talking about. These genres are what made Classical music popular in it's age. In that era the forum for showcasing "classical music" was operas! Hence why... |

| 14. |  | The Ultimate Divas Album by Gioachino Rossini Price: $16.98 Customer Review: SEVENTEEN DIVINE DIVAS IN FAVORITE ROLES. "Qualifications for divahood may be elusive, but there is little doubt that the 17 artists featured in this collection eminently qualify." George Jeffries. To which I heartily agree!!!!! The term 'diva' refers to the goddesses of the operatic world who... |

| 17. | ![Pacini: Alessandro nell Indie [Hybrid SACD]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/418-lHsrW%2BL._SL160_.jpg) | Pacini: Alessandro nell'Indie [Hybrid SACD] from Opera Rara (UK) Price: $87.98 Customer Review: Pacini's ALESSANDRO NELL'INDIE, as Jeremy Commons suggests in his detailed notes accompanying this release, is a significant event in Pacini's long dramatic career, and equally important in the history of Italian opera. Commissioned by Teatro San Carlo of Naples, here Pacini begins to find his own... |

| 19. |  | The Essential Placido Domingo from Sony BMG Price: $19.97 Customer Review: This was a great buy for me. The power and accuracy of Placido's voice are demonstrated well. Two CD's and 34 songs--just can't beat that for the price. |

| 20. |  | Beethoven: Complete Piano Concertos (Alfred Brendel: Piano Concertos 1-5 w/Levine, CSO; "Choral" Fantasy, Op. 80 w/ Haitink, LPC, LPO) by Ludwig van Beethoven Price: $21.99 Customer Review: If you gave me a choice of any pianist playing these concertos, I'd take Pollini and Rubinstein. However, these recordings are a BIG part of any serious classical music library. Brendel, as always, offers top rate Beethoven interpretations and performances. I particularly enjoyed the second and... |
