Title: Fun opera, Golden Horne
Product review: I am shocked at how bad Scotto is in this performance. I'm not that familiar with early Scotto - when did she realize that she didn't have to scream her head off on stage? Is it that she was feeling threatened by Horne? Was she having delusions of being a second Callas? What was it? At some point (later than this recording) she got her act together and did some marvelous restrained singing. But for apparently doing everything in her power to ruin an otherwise lovely recording of a rarely performed opera with esteemed colleagues, including a practically flawless (and serene) Marilyn Horne, she should've been given a good swift kick.
