The name of Decca is synonymous with opera and its catalogue offers a wealth of treasures from over half a century of recorded opera. Add to this the riches of the Philips opera catalogue and the consumer has a choice of repertory unrivalled by any other record company. With the launch of THE COMPACT OPERA COLLECTION Decca offers a selection of recordings which will appeal particularly to those record collectors wishing to establish a library of popular operas in performances and recordings of guaranteed artistic and technical quality. In the age of personal computers, laptops, mobile phones and the internet we’re more used to gathering large quantities of information in compact formats. This series offers the ideal solution to the current demand for “compactness”. Operas, usually housed in large, space-swallowing sets are now presented in compact digi-packs which feature specially commissioned photography by Jeff Cottenden, whose previous commissions include work for the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden. A 20-page booklet is included in each title and, as well as giving full cast details and tracklistings, there is a four-language synopsis of the drama (English, French, German and Italian). But that’s not all: For each opera, one of the audio discs has been enhanced with CD-ROM capability to carry the full libretto including translations. These CDs function as any normal audio CD when played on your CD player or computer but can also be used on your personal computer (or Macintosh) to view the complete libretto and translations. |
