Title: Incredible singing/Miraculous engineering
Product review: I bought this disc becauce I wanted to hear Annick Massis before we saw her in the Met's new production of Lucia. I wondered if she could step ito Natalie Dessay's shoes. This recording makes me wonder why she is not a household name in New York. She is a perfect match for Florez and I look forward to seeing her go mad in Act three of Lucia.I tend to shy away from "LIVE" reordings due to stage noise, audience coughing etc.; But I fear that this audience was bound and gagged with duct tape. Not a sound until the end of the first act which is the end of the second disc. Only then applause. Decca did an amazing job of editing these performances together. The sigers are captured a little two forward of the orchestra but the acoustic is quite nice. A very nice addition to any collection!
