In the operatic field there is no doubt that tenors are more popular than other male singers, partly because the composers usually used the tenor voice as a vehicle for his most beautiful tunes and the tenor is usually the hero in opera (with a few exceptions) This album by two of Americas greatest post war singers has been long awaited by opera enthusiasts. Samuel Ramey is one of the greatest bass singers in recent years. He can sing most of the bel-canto repertoire with ease and has a wonderful, effortless way of singing. Thomas Hampson too is a very important baritone and Lieder singer of some repute. This CD is interesting in that they chose certain duets that are not well known (Cimarosa "Il Matrimonio Segreto" and Donizetti's "Marino Faliero" ) The "Attila " duet is a bit disappointing as Hampson sounds very bland on it ; not like the rebellious Roman he should be. Ramey is usually predictable with his villain roles but here he is not the usual "devil" that he is famous for. The "Don Carlo" duet between Posa and Phillip is particularly outstanding and brings to mind the live performances I have seen both singers give in these roles. If you want something a bit different in the Operatic field then this CD should be given a chance. The bass and baritone voices are so beautiful and here we have two artists who are the peak of their careers.The booklet inside is adequate with pictures and librettos.
