5 out of 5 stars Best Cherubino..........2007-05-06

No kidding. This album has the best Cherubino part compared to the other Le Nozze di Figaro copycat. After you've listened to Non so più cosa son, you would feel bad hearing the other rendition of the same song.

5 out of 5 stars wonderful music.......2006-06-20

you do not have to be an opera expert to appreciate this cd , as a person who is just beging to appreciate fine opera this is a wonderful choice . waht is nice amazon gives you the opportunity to listen to the tracs prior to buying it. i am extremelly pleased with this item and im sure you will be to. sincerly christian john nielsen

5 out of 5 stars Close Your Eyes and Listen.......2006-05-28

If right now you need to know joy and timelessness, a heart filled with light, beauty that has been and will be always, overflowing with the splendor you are fashioned from, knowing all that is your own, that you are only in the least important sense alone, with nothing to fear other than never perceiving any of this, close your eyes and listen to the Duettino Sull'aria from Le Nozze di Figaro...

5 out of 5 stars Terrific value, beautiful quality........2004-04-16

This CD is a wonderful value with top-notch recording. The Cherubino character (mischievous lovestruck youth) is especially delightful on this CD. I fell in love with "Sul Aria" in The Shawshank Redemption, and later saw this opera live. Though it's only a highlights album, I found it rather complete, with solid linear notes (plot summary for you to follow along), and ALL of the beloved songs I had remembered. I recommend this one!

5 out of 5 stars Exceptional recording.......2003-09-29

The quality of this recording is exceptional. Naxos recordings are often played on classical music stations for good reason. The performances are excellent.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars I got it for the same reason...........2006-03-07

as many of the others...because that one song that echoed over the courtyard of Shawshank Prison grabbed me. So, I looked in the credits and discovered this. OK, so it's just the highlights, but it's an AMAZING album from start to finish. Presented with passion, humanity, and sometimes even humor. Sometimes opera will drive me up the wall when I don't like one of the singer's voices, but this one has a wonderful collection of talent, and is very easy to listen to.

4 out of 5 stars Where's the full-length version?.......2003-05-03

I have both the highlights and the full recording of this version of Figaro. For some reason, though, Amazon doesn't seem to carry the full version, which is too bad. This is one of the few operas I actually think needs the recitiatives.
Anyway, so since the acting doesn't matter too much on a highlights version I won't get into that. The singing is very good, in fact I think it's probably the best version of Figaro out there. The only exception is in regards to Gundula Janowitz's performance of Dove Sono, which seems to be very ill-suited to her voice. The rest of her part is done beautifully. I also think it's sad that Marcellina's aria was left off, since that is always one of my favorite songs and I will never intentionally buy a recording where it has not been included, but due to how frequently it gets cut, I am not surprised.
Anyway, I recommend the highlights version if you are after something you can listen to in the car and don't want to bother with a full three disc set. For all other purposes I would advise you to track down the full-length recording, which is definitely worth it.

5 out of 5 stars "Che belle voci!".......2002-06-26

This recording is fantastic. Bohm is a lively, exciting conductor who can also make one wet-eyed in the final scene. Prey has the perfect blend of mischievousness and richness of sound for Figaro's character, and he is well-matched by Edith Mathis as Susanna who is delightful and full-voiced. Gundola Janowitz as the Countess is also amazing, and her "Dove sono" is really moving. Fischer-Dieskau is a powerful Count, too. Troyanos (Cherubino) is beyond praise and her "Voi che sapete" ranks with Frederica von Stade. The sound quality is crisp and clear, and the selections are good, though I wish the sextet "Riconosci in questo amplesso" was included. In all, great!!!

5 out of 5 stars Great opera.......2001-08-18

The Marriage of Figaro is arguably one of the best operas ever developed, and it's great to know that this cd contains the best songs from the fabulous opera. The orchestra, along with the singers, give a grand performance of high caliber. If you enjoy classical music, then this will make a magnificent addition to your musical collection.

5 out of 5 stars amazing.......2000-12-30

After watching Shawshank Redemption I looked everwhere for this recording. This is some of the most emotionaly moving pieces of music I have ever heard. Im a 17 year old guy in a punk rock band, and I cried probably the hardest Ive ever cried in my life when listening to the duettino sull aria. Its one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard in my entire life. I cant imagine not having it.

5 out of 5 stars What a great CD!.......2007-02-15

This is a dream cast, recorded for posterity. I've seen/heard many productions of Nozze, and have never heard it better.

5 out of 5 stars The best Figaro on record!.......2000-07-27

This is a recording that ranks with the greatest. The sparkling, crisp overture and a remarkable cast, this is one for every classical music lover's library. Solti conducted with his usual unerring command, and you will never hear a better Countess or Figaro than Te Kanawa and Ramey. No one beats von Stade as Cherubino, and Thomas Allen and Lucia Popp as the Count and Susanna are wonderful. Obviously, I can't say enough good things about it. The recit's are stylistically correct, and not under- or over-done, and the arias all seem "right" in tempo, in feel, in motivation. I always feel that this is the realization/interpretation that Wolfgang would have loved.

If you are looking for the best recording of Figaro, stop here!

      Amazon.com essential recording

      Erich Kleiber's magically sympathetic, spirited, and incandescent recording of what may be Mozart's most perfect opera has long been the catalog benchmark for this work. Unfortunately, the full recording has again gone out of print; until Universal/Polygram decides to reissue, this compilation of highlights will have to do. But it makes an excellent introduction to the opera, especially for anyone setting out to discover the miraculous, myriad ways in which Mozart could translate emotions and dramatic complications into music. Just listen to the resonance of arias such as "Porgi amor" and "Dove sono" and you'll get a flavor of Mozart's intuitive grasp and portrayal of human nature: these are the qualities that have secured his position as the Shakespeare of opera (his own favorite genre for which to compose, in fact). The cast represents several voices from one of opera's golden ages of singing. Kleiber molds and shapes the long lines of Mozart's lyricism with unfailing mastery, and--as you can readily hear in the overture--infectiously sets the composer's irrepressible high spirits loose in a sparkling but never unbridled account. --Thomas May

      4 out of 5 stars Greatest Bass this Century.......2004-05-02

      If you buy this CD, do it because of Cesare Siepi. His gorgeous basso voice is perfect for the role of Figaro. He is clear and emotive at all times--and besides what the person above me said: Figaro is a bass role; he doesn't sing "thickly". That being said, the rest of the recording is weak, with no one even coming close to Siepi, or any other stars for that matter. A great buy for fans of Cesare Siepi!

      5 out of 5 stars Excellent Conducting and a Lively Figaro.......2003-08-11

      If you do not have an opera CD collector's budget, and you are trying to determine which recording of Figaro to invest in, you would do well to purchase this recording of highlights. Kleiber's conducting is perfectly delightful, and represents the best extant recorded conducting of Figaro by far, leaving Giulini sounding almost pedestrian and just about everyone else plodding. And Siepi is completely engaged, incredibly fun to listen to, and certainly among the best Figaros. If the historic recording quality and comparatively weaker supporting singers do not bother you, then you may rest assured that the full opera, which costs three times as much as this disc, is worth the investment.

      2 out of 5 stars Highly Overrated Performance.......2001-06-30

      I was very unhappy with this performance. Let me explain why. Though Cesare Siepi can be enjoyable at times as Figaro, he sings far too thickly for the part. Hilde Gueden sounded a bit mechanical at times as Susanna, with little emotion, and Alfred Poell as the Count sounded rather weak, always either ahead or behind the orchestra. Lisa della Casa was the only really good thing about this performance, who gave a very sweet Countess. Suzanne Danco's voice shook as Cherubino, and the tempos were a bit too fast. I would not suggest this cd.

      5 out of 5 stars Compilation but still excellent.......2005-05-28

      This recording is not your typical opera highlights. Instead of taking the best parts of a complete opera recording, this is a compilation of recordings by different soloists, conductors and orchestras. However, all the performances are excellent and strangely enough it actually works. I have listened to this CD many, many times and always enjoy it. At less than 3 dollars, it is well worth it. And one of the tracks features Cecilia Bartoli. What a bonus!

          Album Description

          Bursting with misunderstanding, comedy and intrigue, the tale of Figaro and his fiancée Susanna as they try to evade the philandering seductions of Figaro's master the Count of Almaviva, is one of Mozart's greatest achievements. Whether you are hearing this opera for the first or the hundredth time it is easy to appreciate why, with its blend of comic vitality and genuine poignancy, it is still one of the most frequently performed operas in the repertoire. One Disc Highlights on SACD: Compatible with existing CD players, this SACD contains three separate versions of the same program: 5.1 multichannel surround sound mastered in DSD • 2-channel stereo mastered in DSD • CD standard stereo
