Title: Avoid this like the plague!
Product review: Admittedly it would be hard to measure up to the classic Böhm/Gueden/Wunderlich 'Daphne' or the recent Fleming/Bychkov release, but frankly I wonder why this one was even issued. It's really awful. June Anderson, who didn't have the right voice for the title role even early in her career, is now rather too old and much too wobbly for the role. The Leukippos could never be the equal of Fritz Wunderlich (come to think of it, who could?), and the Apollo is underparted by Scott MacAllister, no heldentenor he.The only mitigating factor in this release is the orchestra of La Fenice under Anton Reck, and even they are not top-drawer.Bottom line: Read the title of this review and believe it.Scott Morrison
