Wild with passion
From the opening bars of this opera you get the feeling that something very dramatic is about to unfold before you. Then, you get swept away by the prelude. I've rarely heard music THIS passionate and convincing. I felt like a falcon soaring above the castle before ...

Alfredo Kraus
Deutsche Grammophon, 2006
Bel canto diva shines
Perhaps this is not the definitive production of Lucia di Lammermoor, nor is it Sutherland's most sensational performance of the role. But it merits 5 stars simply because it is Sutherland in her signature part, an amazingly rare document considering the astonishing ...

Geneon [Pioneer], 2000
WOW
This is my favorite opera production. I consider it to be one of the greatest ever (as did Domingo). Occasionally there is a camera problem, but it's minor. This is a sexy opera and the stars give it right back to us. Yes, I prefer Freni (my goddess) than Scotto, ...

a hidden treasure
There may be many more famous versions of this opera, but THIS is the one to get. In through-composed operas such as this, where continuity and cohesiveness are especially vital to the dramatic flow, there is a touch some conductor's have which allows them to unify ...

Delta, 1990
Classical masterpiece
I have played much of this music in my younger years with the local high school symphony. This is an excellent collection for classical music lovers. Most of the pieces selected are done very well and I thought the sound quality was pretty good. It was great to get a ...

Decca, 2004
Good, not great...
It is a cut and paste job, and the overall result reflects that. Some of the pieces are rather good. Some are works that are not choral works, and do not lend themselves well to being morphed into a choral piece. If you are looking for a musical experience, then ...

PERFECTION ON RECORD
I cannot listen to this recording without tears in my eyes. For I was there, in the audience the night of this performance. Eve Queler had assembled one the strongest multiracial/cultural casts ever to grace a stage: two Afro American sopranos, a Spanish tenor and a ...

FLAWED BUT FANTASTIC!
TO SEE SUTHERLAND PERFORM THIS ROLE ADDS A WHOLE NEW DIMNSION TO IT. SIMPLY HEARING IS NOT ENOUGH. DAME JOAN DOES NOT EMOTE WITH HER VOICE. SHE RELIES ON FACIAL EXPRESSIONS AND GESTURES TO CONVEY FEELING, AS SHE DOES SO ADMIRABLY. THE VOICE OF A 56 YEAR OLD IS ...
