Editorial Reviews

In two discs containing more than 150 mintues of music, you'll get your fill of old-favorite arias. Take, for example, these chestnuts by Puccini: "Nessun dorma" from Turandot, "O mio babbino caro" from Gianni Schicchi, or "Vissi d'arte" from Tosca. But there are plenty of deserving arias included, too, that don't quite rise to the stellar heights of Puccini's greatest hits. Wagner, Charpentier, Bellini, Saint-Saens, Mozart, Handel, and many other composers share in the lineup. Beginning with Verdi's prelude to La Traviata and its opening ethereal, high chords -- those tender augurs of Violetta's eventual doom -- Escape Through Opera offers great voices -- from Luciano Pavarotti to Karita Mattila -- singing great music. A fine choice for those in search of a high-quality opera sampler. Barnes & Noble
