Advantages: All the hero's in one
Disadvantages: Mixed sound recordings Sound louder and quieter in places

Track11: Cielo e mar! sung by Giuseppe di Stefano This tenor was famous for his wild untamed singing that eventually cost him his voice. Still he sings this very well sounding very much like Pavarotti at times. Track 12: Wenn der Freude Tränen fliessen performed by Staatskapelle Dresden Orchestra Simply. ........
