Title: A great recording, but..
Product review: Listening to this recording i had the impression that Idomeneo is really a masterpiece. But i had some deceptions: Anthony Rolfh Johnson is borring and the charismatic Ian Bostridge sings beautifully but does'nt have the streght for the role. The orchestra plays very well and the recording is captured in excellent sound. Lorraine Hunt is excellent and Barbara Fritolli, moving, despite an excessive vibrato. This is a good recordng, but this opera demands much more.
