Title: Run away. Run far, far away
Product review: I FINALLY got around to listening to this recording after a friend bought it out of curiosity. Oh my. I realize this was at the height of the Andrea Bocelli craze, but the Verdi Requiem? Sacrilege.There are so many things wrong with his performance, it's hard to begin. First, the vocal quality is amateurish - he is obviously amplified. His pitch is questionable, his phrasing odd and his diction sloppy. I've heard other Bocelli recordings and even his Italian is bad!Renee Fleming, as always, is magnificent. The other singers are adequate, as is the orchestra. Nothing inspiring.In short, it sounds like a high school student won a contest to sing with the big kids.
