The Prima Voce Treasury of Opera
Volume 1

Enrico Caruso, Nellie Melba, Jussi Björling, Ezio Pinza, Amelita Galli-Curci, Rosa Ponselle

This collection aims to highlight the rich vocal element present in a wide range of operas. It is a collection of the great melodic moments - the big tunes - which are spread throughout an evening at the opera. The arias, and occasional duet, are sung by some of the finest singers who recorded during the first fifty years of the twentieth century, a time when standards of vocal technique in top international opera houses were of prime importance.
