To appreciate Puccini, the production notes
tell us, you should know the full Puccini, and this compilation of never before
heard and/or little known compositions cover the gamut, from orchestral works
to choral pieces, to songs and band music, the latter of which I found least
enjoyable, but still interesting. However, taken as a whole, this is a
worthwhile addition to one's library. The orchestral pieces, perhaps, are the
most enjoyable, reflecting my own bias for the rich sounds and emotional
resonance that a full orchestra can emote. -Opera Online
