The Voice Of The Century September 24, 2012
By Ed C. (Oklahoma City, OK) See All My Reviews
"In my opinion, Renata Tebaldi is the greatest voice up to this time. There are less than a handfull of Soprano's today that can touch Ms. Tebaldi. This CD contains some of her greatest moments and all of them are jewels. This is a WONDERFUL CD and I recommend it to anyone."
