Negative Positive
Title: Marvelous version
Review: The orchestra, Ramey, and Anderson sound wonderful. I also have the video, but the tenor is raw voiced Rockwell Blake. Vainzo is a vast improvement, but I wish he had more heft. Lagrange has an odd vibrato I find irritating. But then, I'm ridiculously picky. As on the video, Anderson is just amazing. The beautiful quality of tone, fantastic breath control and smooth coloratura (I hate bouncy coloratura). She really stops the show with "Robert, toi que j'aime." The audience just can't scream enough. I've played it over and over myself. Mesmerizing.
