Title: A Vickers' fan finds this cd a great disappointment
Review: In my enthusiasm to own what I seriously hoped would be a collection of Jon Vickers' recorded successes, this turned out to be an extended interview, by a commentator who obviously knew his stuff and a singer who knew only his stuff. The interviews thus are far too long, and the musical selections far too short, to be of serious interest to almost anyone. One can learn almost as much from a quick read of the cd liner notes, as from the interviews, which shows how very superficial Mr. Vickers can be, even on his own turf. Amazon commits an error of its own, by failing to emphasize the preponderance of the interview time. While statements are made in the disc contents section of the product features page, this is too little, too late. I am giving my copy to my local library, in the hope that they can put it into circulation and someone will get some use out of it.
Is the review positive or negative?
