One of the best!5
This is a wonderfully put together compilation displaying some of her best performances. The selections from Traviata are fine examples of what put her on the map. Her aria from Forza is stunning. And she is a wonderful Mimi. I think this CD explains what all the raves have been about. For those who don't know her work this CD would be a great place to begin. I am a huge fan so I am biased. However I do think she one of the best singers and actress singers working in opera today. I highly recommend this CD!

Imprescindible: Lo mejor de Angela!5
Este recopilatorio que propone DECCA es completisimo (78' de musica) y de compra obligada tanto para los amantes de ANGELA GHEORGHIU como para aquellos que aun no la conozcan. El programa incluye fragmentos de Boheme (las dos arias y el duo, con Alagna) La Wally, La Traviata (las dos arias), Il Trovatore, La Forza del Destino, Cherubin, Herodiade, Faust, L'elisir d'amore (un duo, de nuevo con Alagna), y la cancion popular 'Muzica'
Las interpretaciones de Gheorghiu son en todos los casos de primerisima fila, destacandose especialmente en 'La Forza del Destino' (antologico su 'Pace, Pace mio Dio'), 'La Traviata' (alocada en 'Sempre libera' y conmovedora en 'Addio del passato') y 'La Wally' (emotiva y desgarradora)
Los acompañamientos son tambien siempre de primer nivel, e insisto, este disco es de compra obligada para todo amante de la opera.
Las grabaciones provienen todas de albums ya editados antes por Decca, entre 1994 y 2000.

Not enough2
This album hardly shows up what this gorgeous coloratura can do. It's slow, has a easy listening feel to it, but totally lacks a moment to remember.
