Title: Just Enough to Want More
Product review: This is a wonderful compilation. As is the case with many "extracts offerings", I wasn't sure there'd be enough listening time for each opera. But, there is enough - for a nice taste of each anyway.Il Crociato fares best with more than a half an hours time. The Semiramide is beautifully sung, as is the trio from Margherita d'Anjou and I definitely prefer the twelve and a half minutes of this L'Esule di Granata to the recent highlights CD that Opera Rara offers of the same opera. (The cast here is far superior.)This immersion into early Meyerbeer lasts just over an hour. It is beautifully sung, well conducted and very likely to leave you wanting more.
