Title: Mozart Opera Lover from Falls Church, VA
Review: I was extremely disappointed when I heard this opera as the sound was horrible and I have a 32 inch SONY Trinton TV and a SONY DVD!!! The sound gets worse after the overture when you hear the singers because it sounds so far away and distant. I bought this version because of the raving reviews I found here. I think the production was poor and the singers were not all that great especially Cherubino. Even though Finley and Fleming make a wonderful pair together, I've heard them sing Mozart far better than in this production. Hagley as Susanna in the JEG/Paris recording is delightful through and through compared to this one. Also, the tempi was very slow as well as the singing--there's so much going on at the same time in the opera, it should move more quickly!! I find the version with JEG conducting and Byrn Terfel singing far more superior!!! DO NOT BUY! You will be very disappointed.
