Title: Disappointing
Review: Angelika Kirchschlager's mezzo voice is very fine, but one can hardly tell from listening to these duets---she's drowned out by Barbara Bonney's big soprano voice, too-big vibrato, and too-frequent pitch difficulties (usually on the sharp side). It's a shame. Many of these songs are heard infrequently. But this is not the way to hear them. Perhaps Bonney plus a stronger mezzo voice would have been better. Personally I would have preferred Kirchschlager paired with a soprano who's on pitch and less closely miked.
Is the review positive or negative?
