Marvelous singing, fun to watch, wonderful acting and great comic timing by Natalie Dessay, 9 high Cs by Juan Diego Florez. If you want to buy only one bel canto opera buffa, get this one.
Release Date January 08, 2008
Do not hesitate to buy this DVD. It is worth every dollar. The four singers really stand out, Netrebko with her angel-like voice, Vargas with a wonderful tenor voice, Garanca as a colorful mezzo and Tezier as a brilliant baritone. Each and every aria are outstandingly sung and when the four of them join to sing both an aria from Rigoletto and from Traviata their voices blend wonderfully. It is one of those treasures that are worth being discovered. Javier from Bariloche

Like the Verdi Pavarotti album,this register like all the ones coming from Metropolitan are made under original conception.This together with the best performances of Pavarotti become an unavoidable DVD for people that likes these operas and that wont be repeated again
Release Date April 08, 2008
From the Met, broadcast in 1987. Two great singers a little past their prime, but the Rigoletto Quartet alone makes this DVD worth owning.
In the Rigoletto, Dame Joan's voice opens up and is as full, agile, spikey and powerful as it had always been. Her final note in the quartet is vintage Dame Joan.
In the Traviata Dame Joan's voice is somewhat attenuated. I know Violetta is supposed to be at the end but Dame Joan's voice doesn't really warm up and although she is projecting emotion, it doesn't really come through in her vocals.
Some of Dame Joan's Lucia can be passed. Her top notes do not quite work.
And... whoever was responsible for her make up should have been shot. I've never seen her look ... Read More:

What a shame that the only existing DVD of Juan Diego Florez in one of his signature roles is in this wrong-headed "Don Pasquale." Wrong-headed because once again we have an opera director for whom restraint seems to be a four-letter word. Yes, this is opera buffa, but as anyone who has seen a successful performance of this piece knows, the moments of comedy are leavened with those of genuine heart and poignancy. None of which is in evidence here...unless Senor Florez is on stage -- alone. The opening of Act II is magnificently sung, passionate and sincere. Donizetti is known for giving his tenors these moments of emotional clarity in his comic operas, and Florez makes the most of it; honestly, I've never heard him sing better. And then Raimondi ...

How many of us at the standard social gathering, when the subject of art comes up, we hear names like Rembrandt, Picasso, Warhol...when really these are the Honda, Kia, and Chevrolet Biscayne ( the stripped down model of the 60's )...it just betrays a mere pedestrian knowledge, if it can be called that, of art history. It has been said that we only remember 5% of what we learned in university-prompting the comic of the 60's, fr. Guido Sarducci, to quip that all that is really needed is a two week education in what exactly this 5% knowledge contains....Vadda Bing Vadda boom; we're educated!
You know there are other tenors besides "the three"; and other sopranos besides Sills and Sutherland-and certainly other stars than the few teenyboppers forcefully ... Read More:

La Voce Quore is the ONLY DVD available where one can let the great late di Stefano magic wash over one's soul. It's unbelievable that we can buy NOTHING of this great artist who gave millions of opera lovers the thrills of their lives on records.
BUT if this is to be the only DVD to be issued, THIS is the one I will take along with me to a deserted island. Rest in peace, from your greatest fan !!
