Title: Villazon good, but Netrebko big disappointment
Product review: Traviata is my favourite Verdi opera and I have gathered at home quite a collection of cds and dvds with some of the greatest Violettas: Callas, Gheorghiu, Sutherland, Moffo, etc. I bought this cd based on amazon reviews, but the fact of the matter is that I regret having bought it: I like the tenor and the baritone, but Netrebko did not convince me as Violetta.- act I: her coloratura is barely satisfactory and not what one would expect from a regular singer at the MET...- act II: her Amami Alfredo was weak; she went off tune rather often;- act III: I got no sense of the frailty and tragedy of Violetta - she failed to convince dramatically.So if you are a big fan of Villazon, you may want to buy this cd for his good Alfredo; but if you are like me and you can't imagine a good La Traviata with a mediocre Violetta, save your money.
