Title: Wobbly and "where is that pitch??"
Review: As a soprano learning the role of Annina I'm very disappointed with the Annina in this recording. Her wobble is so large that often times you cannot figure out which pitch she is trying to hit. I have to play the notes on the piano to hear what they are really supposed to be and have found many that are way off. Thank God I can play through the piano score to learn the part correctly. The other sopranos are fabulous! Why, why, why then, did they hire Julia Melinek to sing the Annina??!! I cringe every time I have to listen to her and am embarrassed to share it with anyone feeling it will further propagate the myth that opera singing sounds like that. Instead of using the pianos written into the first part of "Oh Sweet Jesus" it sounds like Julia either cannot do pianos or decided it is better to show how large her voice is rather than express the text and feelings.
