Title: This is an excellent recording................
Review: Claudio Scimone's account of Maometto II has Samuel Ramey magnificently focusing the whole story in his portrait of the Muslim invader in love with the heroine. The other singing is less sharply characterized but is generally stylish, with Margarita zimmermann in the travesty role of Calbo and June Anderson singing sweetly as Anna. Laurence Dale is excellent in two smaller roles, while Ernesto Palacio mars some fresh-tones singing with his intrusive aitches.
