Opera recommendations on vinyl

Pergolesi "Stabat Mater".

Try Traviata & Aida on EMI (with Callas), & Carmen on Decca (Solti & a reasonable cast). They should be easy to find on LP. There's also Don Giovanni on DG & EMI.

If you liked Madama Butterfly, and more specifically Puccini, you will love "Montserrat Caballe Puccini Arias" Angel S-36711. This is my all time favorite album of opera music. This LP, as far as I know, is not currently available; you will need to find it used. It is also on CD on Angel(EMI) CDC-747841 2. The music on this album is so beautiful it's worth having, even if you have to get the CD! Do not miss this wonderful album! Good luck in your search.

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll use it to go record shopping this weekend in San Franciso/Berkeley. If there are any other recommendations, please let me know!
