RCA; 2 discs
A very cool cd set. This features many famous American opera singers, each performing a famous aria/duet. The remastered recordings are simply wonderful, allowing you to hear good quality recordings of some of the older singers. Mary Garden is really amazing. Not the best opera compilation I have ever listened through, but very interesting to hear the different singers. There are a few Canadians and Lily Pons, but most of the singers are American. All in all, very interesting for any fan of American opera.
