Review # 1 was written on 2007-08-31 00:00:00 Christopher Bird This book is quite comprehensive, and great if you need quick summaries and references. I don't agree with all the CD reviews and assessments of certain singers (calling Leo Nucci nothing more than a workhorse: that's ridiculous), they don't cover every opera, including interesting rarities by Puccini and others. Now there's a newer edition as well. However, overall, you can't ask for a much better book if you want to delve into all things opera. No matter what edition you get, tap into this resource.

Review # 2 was written on 2010-08-17 00:00:00 MIchael Beasley Great summary of the mainstream operatic works, major artists and the best recordings.
