Customer Reviews I was looking for dinner music I was disappointed. I place a high priority to the selections made for my dinner party, and although this is still a good CD, it did not meet my expectations to play for dinner guests. It is marketed as "Dinner Classics", but not a good mix in my opinion. Bravo! I was surprised it was from the US beacause it has captured the very soul of Italy. I heard this album for the first time at a restuarant in Florence during my trip to Italy. After 7 years it has remained my favorite of all Puccini cds I own. I especially like the fact that it is instumental and can be played for many occassions. It never fails to stir the wanderlust for a trip back to Italy! A must for every romantic!. Outstanding compilation of the Italian classics, This CD introduced some Italian music to me that I was not familiar with. I have been a music lover for years. I listen to this music very often. . . it is almost theraputic in effect. I have never heard more beautiful music together on one CD. You won't regret getting this one!. .
