Title: excellent Romeo & Juliette
Review: This Romeo & Juliette is the first of the two digital EMI recordings of the opera conducted by Plasson. The second one features Alagna and Gheorghiu which is also very good. In my opinion this 1984 recording is the better one between the two. This Romeo & Juliette featured Alfredo Kraus whose stylish reading is hard to beat and his high notes were still very secure.Catherine Malfitano's Juliette was young and fresh, is much more preferable to Gheorghiu's too mature sound Juliette.
