Duets to Die For Reviews:
Attractive compilation from Opera Rara's back catalogue 
2003-03-20 - I haven't seen this CD although I have heard excerpts of several of the operas sampled on this compilation and those I have heard are up to the usual high Opera Rara standard. Not super-starry but usually reliably musical in recovering neglected works. And this is an attractive collection of highlights. Unfortunately the reason I haven't bought it is because I assume that, like most if not all of Opera Rara's compilation discs, the texts and translations have been cut. Maybe the next reviewer could clarify?
Music to die for 
2003-01-06 - This collection comes highly recommended : it is just gorgeous and beautiful music, every note. Why it does not appear at the top of all favourite lists, baffles me! If you love opera, and superb singing : treat yourself to this cd.
