Negative Positive
Title: Too little too late
Review: This recording was clearly done to capture the great Joan Sutherland before she had to stop. I wish they had done it a few years earlier -- La Stupenda is not in good voice here. Also, the video is grainy and dark, the staging clunky, the other singers not outstanding, and the sound quality not very good. I cannot recommend it. To hear Sutherland in her prime, get one of the older CDs and forego the visuals. If you need a beautiful video, get the recent Netrebko release. No one will ever do Lucia as stunningly as Sutherland did, but this is not the recording to show that.
Is the review positive or negative?
