Free Music Review: A beautiful jem even with a slight flaw.
Hit: 4 Stars
This CD set is an affordable and enjoyable way to get aquainted with Ponchielli's masterpiece, however there is a catch to it's unusual price: you should be aware that it is a live recording of a 1979 San Fransisco Opera Production which unfortunatly produces a recording quality that sounds like it was done in 1939. I recommend the recording because of the fact that it "is" live. There is a certain sence of excitment to hear the stage action (i.e. footsteps, doors slaming, etc...). In addition, to the best of my knowledge, there is no formal recording with this all star cast, and as one would expect, the performers are fantastic - just be for-warned that the recording quality is not good.
