Free Music Notes for Bellini: I Puritani
Free Music Review: Good performance playing at wrong speed
Hit: 3 Stars
As usual with Opera D'Oro performances the wary buyer must be willing to settle for variable sound and very sloppy transfers on most items. Like many of their recordings, this performance is running a whole half-step high. So the glorious Sutherland-like high notes of Freni lose some of their luster when the recording is pitched properly. She is good, but really fades vocally at the end of the difficult Act I finale, and like most sopranos (except maybe for Sutherland) she just stops singing in many places in order to reserve her voice for the rest of this difficult opera. Kraus is a classic Arturo, singing with his usual elegance and great finesse. He is one of the few tenors to sing this role who was able to deal with the tessatura. So if you chose to buy this performance, plan on pitching it down (I purchased a variable-speed cd player to deal with this issue) or listening to it playing fast which gives a very distorted impression of the singers and the music. Being a musician, I can't handle that!
