Puccini Gold2007, Decca, 2-cd set
Featuring Luciano Pavarotti, Montserrat Caballe, Carlo Bergonzi
Mirella Freni, Renee Fleming, Jose Carreras, Renata Tebaldi, Roberto Alagna, Placido Domingo, Joan Sutherland, Anna Netrebko, Rollando Villazon, Jonas Kauffman, Rolando Panerai, Angela Gheorghiu, Roberto de Candia, Sherril Milnes, Christa Ludwig, Kiri Te Kanawa, Andrea Bocelli, Giuseppe di Stefano, Robert Kerns.
This is a very well mixed compilation cd. It features two discs of famous singers doing famous Puccini pieces. Some of the recordings are from complete opera recordings, some are singles. The sound quality is very good, with very few of them less than lovely. The mix of tracks and different voices is well done and easy to listen to. The very last track is from the Three Tenors 1994 concert where they all sing Nessun Dorma together. Even if you aren't a big Three Tenors fan, it is a fitting end to this Puccini tribute. For any Puccini fan, this is an album well worth trying.
