Agree not an amalgam, but, for the price it puts a great refresher set of CD's in the library. Have been really enjoying them over the last week or so.
There are some tremendous bargains in the jazz genre. I've bought 25 top league jazz albums in the past month at an average of �3.26, and even that number is skewed by a �10 Louis Armstrong import that is somewhere between New Jersey and Aylesbury.

Donizetti �Anna Bolena� on Bluray � a MUST for opera lovers � riveting performa.
This disc goes up to the top of the list of close to 400 operas on video in the collection here. I�ve always admired Anna Netrebko but here she raises the bar even more. The singing frequently brought tears to my eyes, and it was not just the lovely Netrebko, the beautiful Elina Garanca is equally appealing in this Bluray and is capably backed up by D�arcangelo and others. The chorus work, orchestral accompaniment, the period costuming. Excuse me for raving but it had me transfixed. Netrebko has put on a little weight so is not quite as super slim as previously but, if anything, it has added a mellowness to her voice without losing any of the power of a great soprano. Her acting is utterly convincing.
If you love opera and the female voice in particular, you are guaranteed an enthralling experience. And the music itself, completely new to me, is a revelation in the best company that anything offered by Verdi or Puccini. Add in a plot based on history, and you end up with a great package.
I cannot commend this operatic performance too highly. You MUST add it to your collection.
Advice from sleeve notes:- "There is a proper procedure for taking advantage of any investment. Music, for example. Buying a CD is an investment. To get the maximum you must
LISTEN TO IT FOR THE FIRST TIME UNDER OPTIMUM CONDITIONS. Not in your car or on a portable player through a headset. Take it home. Get rid of all distractions,(even her or him). Turn off your cell phone. Turn off everything that rings or beeps or rattles or whistles. Make yourself comfortable. Play your CD. Think about what you got. Think about who would appreciate this investment. Decide if there is someone to share this with. Turn it on again. Enjoy yourself."
Well I did this and it was great, Thx Gill, Chris

That was absolutely beautiful. It inspired me to write a few lyrics that I thought would go with the the tune.
