Notes & Reviews:
"...The American and English songs find Milnes at his congenial best. There are four 'encores', starting with Gerard's aria from Andrea Chenier. That was one of this singer's best roles; his successors at the Met - and elsewhere - are usually found wanting by his standards. No texts but English summaries. This is a deserved tribute to one of our great operatic stars. It's billed as Volume 1 so we may be lucky and more." -Moses, ARG
