Title: A DISAPPOINTING RE-RELEASE
Product review: For those of you who already own this great recording and are hoping for a polished re-release I have bad news.These recordings have not been re-mastered at all nor have any new queue points been added. Il Tabarro still only has one, only, at the very beginning and Angelica and Schicci both have only two each.It's a shame that Sony chose to re-issue these recordings, unlike EMI and Decca which both re-mastered their old sets, without any kind of improvement over the originals. If you haven't heard these, because they have been out of circulation for a while, please, with my blessing, the casts and the conducting are nearly perfect. Worth it for any fan of Marilyn Horne especially. Her Zia Principessa is, to me, the best ever recorded. But it's ridiculous that Sony put this set out without even adding the traditional queue points...again. It's not like they don't know better. A real shame and a waste of money.
