Review title: very mixed
Product review: This recording is typical of the thrown together casts which got classical record companies into trouble. The vagaries of style and diction between the Padre Guardiano and Leonora in their dialogue - for example - makes you wonder if they are indeed supposed to be singing the same language. Carreras copes heroically with his dimishing resources and Bruson handles his under-sized voice very capably. Sinopoli's conducting, hasty, ill tempered and poorly organized, is particularly sad when compared to Serafin, Marinuzzi or Schippers on other (more or less) complete recordings. Overall, Levine's RCA cast pulls together for the best Forza in stereo.
