Those who expect a lot of uptempo drama in an operatic compilation are welcome to look elsewhere - and the price of this gem will stay low.Nina Rautio and Angela Gheorghiu sing beautifully and expressively in Puccini's slow, emotive arias. And there is variety, with an interplay of voices, subtle shifts of tempo, and even a surging climax in the Turandot Act I Finale.This is the perfect album for relaxing after work when you get that Puccini feeling. It can be rejuvenating.
