Title: YACK! One Star is too much!
Product review: This has to be the worst Dutchman I have ever heard. Everyone, cast, conductor, and chorus, seems to be vastly disinterested in this work. Fricsay, Greindl, Metternich and Windgassen are all great artists who somehow fell apart in this recording. Tempi are rushed so much that no singer can properly shape phrases or allow the proper weight to accumulate. If only for the sake of the memories of these artists, don't deface it by getting this travesty!
