You can tell the music is well performed and there is the sense of passion from the performers. No complaints in that aspect. The problem is these do not sound like CDs. They sound like tape re-recorded to CD. Those that remember the underlying static that was on almost all cassette tapes. That is on these CDs. And as you turn the music up to fully enjoy it the distrubance comes through even more. I have tried these on 3 different systems, and all have the same results.

Going to try to clean it up by converting to MP3 and back again. I know you lose some quality but it may make the overall enjoyment better.

Please don't get me wrong, the performance on these CD's is exceptional. And it is truley a shame that there is this issue. If you have a way to cancel noise then by all means this should be a good buy. If you play it softly then you will not notice noise on the recording. At the price I am not upset at this but I am a bit disappointed at it.

I am so impressed and moved by the music, the selection, the quality of the recordings. An incredible collection at an unbelievable price. I can not imagine a better overall set of this magnitude and quality. If you need Mozart, want to know Mozart, have never listened to Mozart, you need this set. Happy 250th!

Title says all. I love the compositions, music, and her talent.
Highly recommend to get all her CDs

I stumbled upon this album by accident, finding its succssor Voices 3 on the newsgroups and then searching for the earlier releases in the series. Some of the most beautiful voices in today's classical music world can be found on both these albums, from Andrea Bocelli and Luciano Pavarotti to Charlotte Church and Emma Shapplin. Puccini himself would be thrilled to hear Bocelli's rendition of "Nessun Dorma", the soaring aria from Turandot. Voices 2 and voices 3 make wonderful late afternoon with a cup of tea by the fire a glorious, heartwarming event. I can't recommend these albums enough!
