5 out of 5 stars Pavarotti and friends.......2003-11-14

A wonderful eclectic compilation. A bold step for Luciano that works! Very easy listening.

4 out of 5 stars great, but..........2003-06-16

the neville brothers don't belong here. they have fake voices that were made by marketing people. pavarotti has a voice trained over the years with tremendous preparation and hours and hours of classical training and lessons. it's like putting gary matthews jr. on a hitting show with ted williams. a big joke. but everyone else is great.

5 out of 5 stars Verry fun and risky but it worked.......2002-02-07

Pop stars with Opera singers, who would of thought. But it worls well. This CD is fun and has some wonderful proformances. Sting and Pav are very good together on Pania Angelicus. Sting is also good with Zucchero on Muoio Per TE. This CD sounds wonderful and is a must have for the fans of Pav, Sting, Kaas, May, Succhero, at all.

1 out of 5 stars I don't think so.......2000-12-31

This is not what I expected. I only like "La donne mobile." My mom only liked "Caruso" and "Panis Angelicus." This is not like the second on or the one for Bosnia. Those rocked.

5 out of 5 stars Fantastic album...the 1st in a wonderful series.......2000-12-14

This is the first cd in the Pavarotti and Friends series which benefits charities. The wonderful thing about them, is the mix of genres. And this one is no exception. Listen to Sting sing with Pavarotti on the beautiful 'Panis Angelicus', and 'La Donna e Mobile'. Who would have thought of pairing those two together. But it works with breathtaking magic. Just look at the list of artists on this disc and the songs performed. There really is something for every taste. From operatic songs to rock. I love this series, and highly recommend them to all music lovers.

5 out of 5 stars Introducing the Greatest Voice of All Time.......2007-03-13

A new generation of music lovers deserves to know, understand and appreciate the greatness of Mario Lanza. Five decades after his passing, millions of lovers of "grand voices" still are held in awe by the power, passion and beauty of his voice.

This selection of recordings has a number of fine selections that give a small "flavor" of his fantastic talent and skills. It is a good beginning for someone who wants to know "The American Caruso."

5 out of 5 stars The Greatest Tenor of the 20th Century........2007-01-21

In a professional career that lasted just a bit over ten years Mario Lanza created more memorable recordings, broadcasts, concert perfomances and feature films than any other major vocalist in the classical and pop-jazz music genre. He was a man blessed with arguably the finest tenor voice in recorded music. Fans of Caruso, Pavarotti, Jan Peerce, Placido Domingo or Careras may argue that their tenor interpreted a particular aria better than anyone else but few if any can argue against the sheer beauty, power and emotion of Mario Lanza. He achieved worldwide success too fast and his penchant for the good life: wine, women and good food got the best of him in the end. It is so sad, when one contemplates Lanza's short but brilliant career and what might have been, that he was gone at age 38, an age when some tenors are just beginning to hit their stride. This album is a fine overview of some of his most memorable heavy classics as well as lighter operetta standards and showcases his voice so well. Nearly fifty years have transpired since his untimely death in 1959 and there is yet to appear on the scene a tenor with the power, charisma or sheer beauty of Lanza's voice. I highly recommend this album to the Lanza novice or those just starting their Opera CD collections.

5 out of 5 stars Easy listening.......2006-02-27

I have always liked Mario Lanza and the album is wonderful and relaxing.

4 out of 5 stars Lanza of the joyous voice!.......2005-07-14

This album has some really splendid songs, and yes, it's a good introduction to the King of the high last notes. I grew up with one of Lanza's albums and more or less learned to sing by singing along with his wonderful warm voice. What good energy he had... and too bad he died so young (sigh). It certainly lifts my spirits to listen to his music again and I hope anyone reading this will take a chance and get to know him too.

4 out of 5 stars Not bad as an introduction to Lanza.......2001-11-13

I recommend this collection as a good starting point for those interested in this extraordinary tenor. It's not a complete representation of the man by any stretch of the imagination, but it includes a handful of unforgettable recordings that will make newcomers to Lanza sit up in astonishment.

Highlights include the immortal Serenade & Golden Days from The Student Prince, Beloved (from the film version of the Student Prince, and arguably Lanza's best English-language love song), Because You're Mine, If I Loved You, and the stirring Addio Alla Madre from Cavalleria Rusticana. If love songs seem a little over-represented at the expense of arias and (notably) Italian & Neapolitan Songs, then blame BMG for their habitual neglect of Lanza's more serious side. In any event, this is essentially a one-CD version of the three-CD set, The Mario Lanza Collection. All of the renditions are the same as on the earlier CD, as are the sound sources. With the exception of The Student Prince Serenade, most of the selections here have never sounded better.

Be aware, however, that several of the arias are in fact retakes of more familiar versions. Vesti La Giubba, for instance, is an alternate take from Lanza's May 1950 session, and although the tenor is in great voice, the orchestra lets him down on the climactic phrase by moving on before he has finished his High A on the word "infranto". The Flower Song is even more unrestrained than the familiar take - great fun, but not the kind of recording you'd want newcomers to Lanza to hear! (Lanza never quite "nailed" this aria, but his heart was in the right place.) La Donna E Mobile is the familiar 1950 version in the first half, but is replaced by an inferior retake in the second half, followed by an edited-in High B ending (on "pensier") from the original recording!

The only truly bad recording is the inexplicably popular With A Song In My Heart. Lanza is unfocused, and strains his way throughout the piece. Yours Is My Heart Alone is somewhat better, but is easily surpassed by the tenor's 1956 recording with the conductor Henri Rene (and currently unavailable on CD).

The "Greatest Hits" are here: the million-selling Be My Love, Loveliest Night of The Year and the aforementioned Because You're Mine. I have to confess to an aversion to the first two - Lanza was often a far better singer than these recordings suggest - but most fans, I'm sure, will continue to cherish them. Besides, what tenor since Lanza has ever sung Be My Love without straining his way through the wretched thing and then fudging the High C at the end? Lanza made it his own, and to be fair to the song, it is actually a very difficult piece to pull off, as Messrs Domingo, Carreras and Leech will no doubt attest. But that was also one of Lanza's most under-appreciated strengths - he made everything sound so easy. Listeners accustomed to the laborious efforts of most present-day tenors will be astounded by the freshness, ease, and sheer bravado of these performances.

5 out of 5 stars Selections from the Greatest Voice of the Last Hundred Years.......2007-03-13

Mario Lanza was, arguably, the greatest tenor and greatest singer of this and the last century. It is difficult to appreciate him without listening to a variety of selections. This collection has some of his best recordings and exhibits the versatility and variety that he possessed that permitted him to "crossover" from opera to popular music with a ease.

I recommend this for those who already know Lanza to some extent but want to go into more depth and understand his marvelous skills.

5 out of 5 stars A Must Have .......2006-12-12

I had forgotten what a beautiful voice Mario Lanza had. This collection contains opera and pop selections that exhibit the power yet sweetness of his voice. Fortunately, we have his CD's and videos so we can remember and listen to his gorgeous, vibrant voice and personality. I highly recommend this collection along with his wonderful movies, especially The Great Caruso.

5 out of 5 stars The Mario Lanza Collection.......2006-11-10

I had forgotten just how beautiful a voice from the past was. It is a wonderful collection

4 out of 5 stars The MARIO LANZA Collection.......2006-08-19

extract from most important LPs. Brilliant sound quality from RCA. Also included are soundtrack recordings from some of his movies. The are several reissues from Mario Lanza but this one is a collection you should have.

5 out of 5 stars WONDERFUL!!!!!.......2005-10-19

The Mario Lanza Collection is a three CD set and it has 61 songs and they all sound great. The mastering on this set is excellent and the song choice is very very good. It would have been perfect if they added a forth CD with more Arias, Italian songs and Sacred Arias. BUT still this set is a great introduction to Lanza. Lanza's voice was powerful and beautiful; if you are a fan of great singing, you will love Lanza. Highlights on this CD set are; Be my Love, Because your Mine, Serenade, With a Song in My Heart, Temptation, The Lord's Prayer, Ciribirbin, O Solo Mio, Ariverducci Roma, and on and on. They are many many great songs on this set, and I highly recommend it.

1 out of 5 stars Worse than Elevator Music.......2003-12-07

I have the Puccini CD (good) and the Movie CD (so-so), and this is the worse of all. The cheesey instrumentation and arrangements make this sound like bad elevator music. Bayless seems intent on killing every possible shred of artistry with unnecessary embellishement and flourishes to the point that it all starts to sound the same after the second track. If you need music for your dentist's waiting room, this might be a good pick.

5 out of 5 stars This compact disk forever. . ........2002-03-09

I am very fastenated and truly intrested in this CD. You will be able to let your imagination be free. John Bayless has truly touch the heart of myself and many people, and always amazes me with the true fellings and emotions that I have experienced scince I was a little child. This album fucuses on the true balence between the piano and the instuments along with voices that was used in this spledid CD. It was one of my best investments that I will have forever. I saw John Bayless live as a child at the Cornado Theater in Rockford Il. and ever since have grown close to his music and him as well as a close friend. Do not underestimate the true power of emotions through his music! I highly recommend purchasing this exsquisit piece of art. John Bayless is not only a genius, but a loved artist throughout the world. John has gone to the great musical school of Juillard at the age of 17 and has found a great portion of his potential in composing and improvising. Please consider making this investment and you too will be touch.

3 out of 5 stars less would be more.......2000-01-24

I like Bayless's Puccini album--a bit over the top but lovely nonetheless--so took the next step with this one. Quite a disappointment. I like all of the pieces of music he has chosen, but they are hardly recognizable under the excessive embellishment. He also adds other new age instrumentation and voices--odd. So I rate this a 3, or OK. I am getting rid of it, as I have other "straight" versions of the songs I would much rather hear. But if these songs are new to you, you might enjoy them more.

5 out of 5 stars Musical genius creates an incredible masterpiece.......2000-01-01

I saw John Bayless a year or two ago in concert and was blown away. The word "genius" does not come close to describing his gift. This CD is breathtaking, brilliantly displaying his talents. My favorites are the large sweeping themes of Cinema Paradisio and Time to Say Goodbye. The CD is easy to listen to over and over again as every piece is a triumph. This music will lift you and float you away.

5 out of 5 stars Romantic, soothing, music to let your imagination wonder........1999-02-28

I didn't think that the Movie Album could be surpassed because every track moved me. I was completely surprised by the uniqueness of Romantica.....unfamiliar, but quickly absorbed. I purchased my first copy at a live concert by John Bayless in Borger, Texas, his home town. Awesome CD...you will want to have an extra copy for a special friend.

    Album Description

    The Complete Caruso: Volumes 1 - 12

    The Italian tenor Enrico Caruso holds a unique place in musical history, as the first operatic singer whose recordings sold in millions, and who created an international reputation on the strength of these. Caruso's robust tone and musical sincerity made him both an ideal stage and recording artist, whose voice the primitive acoustic recording technology of the early twentieth century was able to reproduce with startling fidelity. The Naxos Historical Caruso edition constitutes the complete cycle of all Caruso's recordings issued in chronological order. In addition, the transfers have been immaculately undertaken by top sound engineer Ward Marston, unrivalled for his knowledge of the specialized world of acoustic opera recordings, and his rare ability to retrieve all of the music lying in the grooves of the original recordings. Naxos Historical's incredible price (12 CD'S FOR THE PRICE OF 10) puts this unique legacy of great singing within the reach of all music-lovers. This! complete cycle of recordings represents a major document in the history of sound recording, and one which no collector and enthusiast of great singing will wish to be without. "There is no series of vocal records that have a greater documentary value, that meant more to the development of the phonograph record, or that are as consistently capable of providing pleasure to lovers of great singing. ...One of the most significant recording industry events of the decade." Fanfare

    This may not be easy to get in the USA for very long.....don't miss it.

    5 out of 5 stars Essential edition for opera lovers.......2005-02-01

    This set gives you the opportunity to follow the entire recording career of one of the greatest singers in Operatic History. Enrico Caruso was the first superstar of the 20th century -- and this without the benefit of mass media. His person and his records were his greatest publicity.

    The set begins with Caruso's Italian made recordings. They show a great raw talent. The artistry is lacking with many sobs, over acting and mistaken cues. The 1902 and 1903 clearly show a tenor with a lot to learn. But learn it he did. His 1904 sessions show a mature artist on par with any heard since. His voice matures before your very ears and by 1910, you wonder if you will ever listen to any other tenor the same way again.

    The engineering used for this set is wonderful. There is no attempt at all to use the soundstream process of computer sound enhancement as heard on the RCA issued sets. These are near perfect mint conditioned discs copied by engineer extraordinary Ward Marston. They sound like natural 78s, they way Caruso himself must have heard the playbacks at the (RCA) Victor studios.

    Also included are outtakes and extra takes. There is a "Celeste Aida" from 1908, complete with a broken high note, previously released by RCA in a 1973 set commemorating the tenor's centenary birthday. But there are new treasures here as well, including extra takes of two of Caruso's greatest recordings, the Italian song "L'Alba separa dalla l'uce ombra" and an aria from Rubinestine's Nerone. Listening to them, one wonders what Caruso could have possible thought inadquate in those long lost altenative takes.

    Finally, there is the simple joy of hearing so many things so well sung. Caruso was the pinnacle of the tenor art. He can be compared to no other single tenor since ... he has the brilliant ring of Bjorling, the passion of Gigli, the beauty of Gedda, the youthful enthusiasm of Lanza, the warm tonal quality of Tucker, the pure strength of Corelli, the charasma of Pavarotti and the artestry of Domingo.

    Whether you are an opera fan, a voice fan or just a music lover. This set is worth every penny.

    Many songs sound as if they were recorded using a pan flute or cheap harp. I would stay away from this one.

    If there wereever any lingering doubts about the continent-spanning allure of opera, the rich career of Chilean-born/Swedish-trained tenor Tito Beltran should put them to rest. Though he's enjoyed a successful career in Europe and the UK (being named 1999 "Artist of the Year" by Opera Now magazine), his greatest mainstream stateside exposure likely came via his powerful performance of Puccini's "Nessun Dorma" from Turandot on the eclectic soundtrack to the hit soccer-themed film, Bend It like Beckham. That aria both anchors and inspires this collection, which offers an equally diverse showcase for Beltran's dramatic vocal talents. Spanning several previous albums, this anthology finds Beltran tackling popular Neopolitan fare ("Funiculi, Funicula," "Santa Lucia") and opera ("Che Gelida Manina" from La Boheme) with the warmth of a native, while his stately renditions of Franck's "Panis Angelicus" and Schubert's "Ave Maria" offer distinctive contrast with the pop-oriented "Be My Love." His closing take on the traditional "Amazing Grace" finds him straddling the gospel and classical realms with an elegance that more than lives up to the hymn's title. --Jerry McCulley

    5 out of 5 stars Another Chilean exportation talent !.......2007-04-04


    Chile not only gave to Latin America the First Literature Nobel: Gabriel Mistral in 1945, the legendary pianist Claudio Arrau, disciple of Martin Krause, Rosita Renard whose brief existence turned off one the most promising artistic careers in the keyboard. Neruda would receive in 1973 another Nobel to conform a formidable quartet that constitute a motive of priceless satisfaction for that Austral country.

    Now the vertiginous career of a young voice: Tito Beltran, who is nowadays one the freshest , powerful and vibrant voices in the Belo Canto repertoire. His propulsive and countless compromises around the world are by themselves a remarkable evidence about his grandness.

    Don't hesitate just for a second at the moment to acquire this CD, which I listened entirely the last Sunday on FM, Radio Station.

    5 out of 5 stars Five-star voice.......2007-02-04

    My favourite voice among the newer tenors around - though he gets by without all the publicity they receive. A strong voice, always pleasing to the ear. Some less-than-perfect pronunciation here and there only adds to the charm. I don't like absolutely all the selections, but if you're considering giving this very talented tenor a chance then this is the place to start. What's more, this is the only Nessun Dorma I've heard that has "two endings".

    5 out of 5 stars "appealing to Opera Lovers and Fans alike ~ Tito Beltran".......2003-11-13

    Silva America presents the best tenor since LANZA! Powerful voice that sends chills up and down your spine, very eerie resembles the late great LANZA ~ refreshing to hear his talent.

    When I first heard Tito Beltran several thoughts ran through my mind ~ just when you thought you've heard it all, voices from the past Caruso and Peerce. Bringing us up to the present with Carerras, Domingo, Pavarotti and Bocelli, this gifted vocalist has proven he can stand up to the best and then some.

    Completely captivating performances by this young tenor...featuring arrangements and orchestrations by Paul Bateman and world renown The City Of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra, The Crouch End Festival Chorus and Crouch End Festival Children's Choir, under the guidance of David Temple(Choir Master) on selected tracks...with some stand outs ~ title track "Nessun Dorma","Granada"(remember when Frankie Laine recorded this in the '50s), "Ave Maria"(recorded by countless artists including a wonderful rendition by Perry Como) and "Be My Love"(another hit by the late great Mario Lanza, they'll never be another, but Beltran comes very close) ~ entire CD is a "Collectors Dream", can't say enough about this future star in the heavens ~ TITO BELTRAN!
