Title: Good performance, poor sound.
Product review: I cannot believe that so many people give this recording five stars. Sutherland is brilliant. But the sound quality is horrible. The sound is foggy and it echoes as though the performers are singing from a storm drain. The sound level is also very dim. This must have been recorded on a mini-recorder from the last seat in the upper balcony. I can understand wanting to praise Sutherland's performance. She is magnificent. But don't praise a poorly recorded cd just for this reason. Give the consumer a break. Don't buy this foggy mess. Instead, get one of Sutherland's two excellent studio versions. I wasted my money on this set. They make lovely coffee coasters, though.
