Software : The Great Operasfrom: Montparnasse Multimedia
Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: The extraordinary thing about The Great Operas is the amount of material that the producers have managed to cram on to one CD-ROM. The figures on the box are impressive enough, but once inside you have to suspend disbelief and prepare for a long wallow in an operatic goldmine. The work is in six sections: the operas, the composers, the great interpreters, the world's top-25 opera houses, a history and a glossary. Of course it's not comprehensive, some of the information is a little outdated and the sound quality is not wonderful, but this is a tremendous introduction to the world of opera. One impressive feature is that unlike many works aimed at a wide audience it does not shirk the 20th century, offering extracts of 20 of the century's great operas. Artist biographies have audio excerpts, complete with the score, and as a bonus there are five marvellous video clips, including Callas, Sutherland and Pavarotti--all in black and white, but well worth including. The history section has direct links to audio examples and even a few seconds provide a flavour of the work which no printed volume could ever hope to achieve. --Keith Clarke Browse for similar items by category:
