Title: My Favorite Stiffelio
Review: I was overwhelmed with this!The Met's version was suggested to me as better, before I bought it, by a friend. After listening to what I could of the Met's version, and comparing with this one (which I had rented from Netflix), I couldn't disagree more.The two bass/baritones had what were to me stunningly beautiful voices, and the others were also tops.The acting was completely appealing; that's all I can say, not being anything like a valid critic. In fact of the lead soprano, I felt her appearance was a let-down somewhat (hair-do, etc) but her performance and singing again were absolutely overwhelming and made me forget the negatives.My friend pointed to the Met's soprano as being "a bit large; but a truly Verdi soprano . . ." and I replied "well that's two big negatives right there!"And Verdi only killed one of his characters in this opera!
