    This 2-disc, 38 track collection is worth its weight in gold. This set features the magnificent voices of artists such as: Corelli, Gobbi, Domingo, Caruso, and Carreras. The title of this set speaks the truth. These really are the greatest voices of our time. All three acts of Rigoletto have recently been digitally remastered to provide an even cleaner and clearer sound. With many classic pieces, it is hard to select a favorite. But, I am leaning towards going with O sole mio by Placido Domingo. The deep, rich texture of his voice can't be replicated, and I recommend this collection to anyone who has an ear for music.
