Title: Martis take on Massenet
Review: This seems to have been made in 2002 when Madre was 69 and Hija was30. I expected disaster but it is an important Massenet score andMamma still can float the pianissimos. Also it is performed in abeautiful church --some people found the camera work too flighty--and I can see their point. Orchestra, conductor and other soloistsare perfectly adequate -- I doubt Hija will ever have as beautifula voice as Madre but at least it is firm --also it is obviouslysmaller than Madre's. We have to be thankful to the Martis forletting us hear this fascinating score where Massenet seems tobe finding himself between Le Roi de Lahore and Herodiade.
