Donizetti: Lucia di Lammermoor - Gergiev        (8 of 8 found this review helpful)
  February 5, 2012

I am a "lover" of Lucia di Lammermoor and "lover" of operas overall... then if i see a new one on sacd i can't resist !!!! I think this is a good Lucia, but nothing of special (imho) if compared with the famous singers of the past. Dessay (better) and Beczala are skilled in "painting" the ... more

I do not agree about Placido Domingo. I can't say nothing about his "german speaking" (i am italian), but i found the performance very good.

Excellent reconstruction of ... more

The singers, considering the actual standard, play well and everything is well amalgamated. The sound is, imho, really good ... a bit "dry", otherwise ... more

Mi first review on sa-cd.net. I found this Tosca really beautiful and therefore, despite of being my english poor, i decided to write something. Sir Colins Davis choose a slow and paced reading: every little particular is udible. Well done and "chapeau" to Covent Garden Orchestra. Jose Carreras is ... more
