Title: Great singing but bad recording
Product review: I could not give this recording 5 stars due to the poor sound quality of the recording. The performance is excellent and very exciting but I don't think I've ever heard so much stage noise on an opera CD. Even though I'm not usually a fan of "live" opera recordings ( I really hate it when you hear the audience start to applaud before the last note of the aria has stopped), I can sometimes overlook it if the vocal performances are all outstanding (as they are here). It's too bad the recording could not have been handled by a better known label with better standards of recording.
