|
 | Joan Sutherland: Greatest Hits
Buy new: $9.98 / Used from: $1.49 A superb survey of La Stupenda, arguably the greatest coloratura to ever live. Her recording of "Salut a la France" and the "Mad Scene" are the best I've ever heard.
|
 | The Very Best of Lucia Popp
Buy new: $16.98 / Used from: $7.99 Viva Lucia! Popp was one of the greatest sopranos of all time. An amazingly versatile singer, she imbued all of her arias with grace, beauty, and vivacity. Her "Porgi, Amor" is simply divine.
|
 | The Art of Pilar Lorengar
Buy used from: $20.22 Pilar Lorengar is sadly underrated. Few sopranos have ever sung with as much passion as Lorengar. In my opinion she is even better than her more famous fellow Spanish sopranos.

 | Anna Tomowa-Sintow - Famous Opera Arias by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Buy new: $23.98 / Used from: $9.99 If you're looking for a soprano with a full-bodied and unbeilievably beautiful voice, you'll find her in Tomowa-Sintow. Another sadly underappreciated singer, she is truly one of the greatest divas.
|
 | Kathleen Battle - French Opera Arias / Chung by Ambroise Thomas
Buy used from: $5.79 Battle is my favorite soubrette. Her voice embodies a certain crystal clarity that is nigh impossible to resist. For excellent technique and some of the greatest coloratura singing, look no further.
|
 | The Very Best of Renata Scotto
Buy used from: $50.00 A lyric soprano, Scotto has a wondrously beautiful voice. She sang everything with emotion and imbued her Puccini heroines in particular with a sense of vulnerability in a way no one else ever has.
|
 | The Very Best of Victoria de los Angeles by Victoria De Los Angeles
Buy new: $16.98 / Used from: $7.99 A golden voiced diva! Los Angeles is yet another sadly underappreciated soprano. She has a voice that is guaranteed to move and please.
|
 | Jessye Norman Classics by Giuseppe Verdi
Buy new: $9.98 / Used from: $2.19 Norman is an extremely versatile singer. She sings everything from Purcell to American spirituals perfectly. A powerful and majestic singer, she is truly one of opera's greatest treasures.
|
 | Montserrat Caballé: Ultimate Collection
Buy new: $8.98 / Used from: $5.27 The last in the trio of great Spanish Divas. No one can float a pianissimo like Caballe in the aria "Io Son L'umille Ancella."
