The Most Overlooked, Underrated Grouping of Top Sopranos.......1999-06-06

I had the opportunity to listen to the works included on this informative CD while checking it out from the library on a whim. I am a classically trained mezzo soprano who is rather dismally disappointed with the lack of selection concerning sopranos. There have been no other compilations that I have been impressed with. Who would have guessed that I would find it in a "Dummies" edition. If you are familiar with classical singing, than I am sure you will agree that this is a real find. I had a blast singing along with it here at my computer. The choices of voices are excellent. If you are new to classical singing, than this is the best way to begin listening to wonderful music performed by terrific ladies voices. I can not say enough!!!

Enhanced CD is great for novices and scholars alike........1998-09-18

As a fan of Mozart, I enjoyed this CD becasue of its PC capabilities. It allowed me to learn more of the music and literally dissect it while it played on my computer. I come from a music background and still had a good time with it. I have reccommended this series to my mother so she can learn more about the music she listens to.
