Review title: Wonderful document, but...
Product review: Daphne is most certainly a good opera by an outstanding composer of operas. The only question is whether one wishes to buy the CD or just hear it in performance. As this latter is very unlikely, and certainly never with such a cast, you will have to "pays you're money and takes you're chances." If you are interested in the classical art of Greece perhaps that should push you into a purchase. As a fan - a huge fan - of Hilde G. I bought the opera for her. Frankly I found her tested pretty severely in her long epic solo opening. If tenors rightly dread walking out on stage and with little warm-up tackling Verdi's Celeste Aida, I can only imagine how sopranos envision this test!If you are not sold on this opera as a purchase and don't yet own the composer's Four Last Songs you might consider those before Daphne.
