Title: What production were you guys watching?!
Review: Based on the other reviews here, I purchased this but was very disappointed. Suor Angelica is my favorite of these three, and it was OK (not great), but Rosalind Plowright is NOT the ideal Angelica: VERY short on top (sounds like a mezzo, and Angelica needs a solid C) and one dynamic - LOUD.Gianni Schicchi was just embarassing. None of the singers were good (the young tenor was OK but, again, just LOUD all the time) and the acting was execrable. I've done this show a couple of times myself, so know where the humor should be, etc., and there was just. . .NOTHING. You'd think with Italian singers (this was recorded at La Scala, by the way) singing in Italian, the humor would come through loud and clear, but they might as well have been singing Swahili (and not understanding a word of it!).A clear disppointment to me - I'm glad to finally have a video of Trittico, but it could have been SO much better.
