Title: Amazing
Product review: Two more beautiful male voices you'll never hear. Ramey's strength is his astonishing technical expertise and Hampson's is his musicality and expressiveness. They both sound like they're having a ball singing together. My kids (ages 7 and 4) love this CD. I would have liked a greater variety of selections (half are Verdi duets), but this is one of the best of the many opera CDs I own. Ramey is one of the best basses in the world and one of the few who sounds absolutely clear and not muddy when he sings. My favorite of his recordings is "Le Nozze di Figaro" with Kiri Te Kanawa, directed by Solti. (I saw him in Simon Boccanegra, by the way, and he has magnificent stage presence.) This was the first time I'd heard Hampson, but this CD made me want to order more of his recordings.
