Masters of the Opera, 1642-1926 (Box Set) Reviews:
Tremendous value 
2008-10-21 - I purchased this used 10 cd set for about $10. Like new condition. Just incredible value for the money.
Incredible Value
2003-11-14 - The recordings are crisp, the performers are big stars. The selections are nicely arranged. Being a Mozart fan, I think the first two discs are worth the price of the entire set. Look at the selections! It's all here and it's all great recordings.
