Customer Review: Everybody knows that Anna is one of the reigning sopranos of our day...gorgeous voice...pop star looks and charisma. Here, she has given us a good selection of her favorite pieces, in multiple languages...it was worth the effort. Some of these pieces are, naturally, far better known than... more info
Customer Review: So far (sure it will be more and more) this is the best Netrebko collection. What a beautiful voice and dignifying performances (the rest of the singer too). It is hard to pick a favorite selection and, at the end, it unnecessary: from Kálmán to Arditi deserve to be heard once and... more info
Customer Review: They're so good together. Their voices complement each other so well. One of the best duet teams ever. By the way, their La Traviata DVD is "o so great"; check it out too.

Customer Review: My favorites all well recorded. I especially like the selections by Pavarotti. The balance of the various cuts is quite good and makes it easy listening.
Customer Review: Because it's recorded so often, La Boheme has accumulated a host of fine recordings, but this new one, made in Munich as a concert performance in 2007, doesn't quite rise to the top. It's been hyped for the pairing of Netrebko and Villazon and critically sneered at because Villazon doesn't dare the... more info
Customer Review: Anna Netrebko,s singing is just wonderfull,like Mario Lanza,Maria Callas and Guiseppe di Stafano before her.Called "Singing from the heart".
