Review title: a gala christmas in Vienna
Product review: Without mincing words, an unexpected dissapointment. Domingo is charming as always and the aging of his voice on this disk is very distinct, although in no way unpleasant. Brightman's performance is very credible and the audio production values, which were very poor on my copy, seemed to favor her more than any of the others. Lotti, so often versatile and acrobatic in his approach on other disks seems flat and clouded here. Cocciante is an annoying presence on this disk and his voice does not blend well at all with the other three...a marketing risk that did not pay off. I can only assume that all the performers, in retrospect, would prefer that the disk had never been released. Had I known about the non-traditional repertoire I might have been better prepared for the dissapointment...there was not a single number in which I was emotionally transported.
