Review title: Femme Fatale ... for the music of Bizet
Product review: Berganza isn't a tragic actress. Her bright voice is deprived of true sensuality. No sign of intensity, no "tears in her eyes". Only feeling's convincing - the hate: after her furious last "Tiens!" I understand that Jose has nothing but kill her.The vocal aspect of this interpretation is also sad: Carmen requires finest musicality and perfect voice control that Berganza can hardly provide. Her tempi are mechanical, accents - primitive, the lack of dynamic shades - fatal. Sometimes she produces beautiful sound, but generally lower register sounds rough, tremolos - not elastic enough, tops - screaming (last "tra-la-la" in "Seguedille" - just awful).Though Domingo's interpretation is as always excellent vocally, he can't touch me still. Cotrubas's charming, her musicality excites me. Chorus sounds wonderful. Abbado's button is uneven: sometimes - good ( "A deux cuatros"), most times - not (sleepy "oiseau rebelle", too fast final).
