 This CD is well worth your time June 23, 2009
MusicRules (USA)
I am especially fond of the Good Humored Ladies track on this CD. That particular track is worth the entire CD since it came from an LP published in the 1970s. It has been distributed through this series of music.
I personally love the other pieces simply because they have a great full orchestral high quality sound. This CD is a very relaxing set of music.
 Graceful background music May 31, 2008

Elegant, soothing and graceful. I recently moved into a work-at-home situation and had to get away from my rock-and-roll standards if I were to get any work done. I find the rich sounds of this album perfect for me. It isn't distracting and seems to steer my creative energies effortlessly. I love it.

I place a high priority to the selections made for my dinner party, and although this is still a good CD, it did not meet my expectations to play for dinner guests. I was disappointed. It is marketed as "Dinner Classics", but not a good mix in my opinion.
Bravo! July 22, 2000

I heard this album for the first time at a restuarant in Florence during my trip to Italy. I was surprised it was from the US beacause it has captured the very soul of Italy. After 7 years it has remained my favorite of all Puccini cds I own. I especially like the fact that it is instumental and can be played for many occassions. It never fails to stir the wanderlust for a trip back to Italy! A must for every romantic!
Outstanding compilation of the Italian classics, May 1, 1999

I have been a music lover for years. This CD introduced some Italian music to me that I was not familiar with. I listen to this music very often...it is almost theraputic in effect. I have never heard more beautiful music together on one CD. You won't regret getting this one!
