Review: Yes, there is one contributor whose way of speaking English is quite unbearable. Had he met with some accident with his voice or his lung, or was he a counter tenor before or what? Other than this contributor, it is also difficult for those who speak little other European languages, especially German and Italian, we have to rely so much on subtitles when we should concentrate on the picture...Having said that, most footages are thoroughly enjoyable for some people like me who don't have sufficient background for singing. Without this DVD, great singers as Slezak and Schimdt, and their unique way of expression, would have escaped my attention. For the general audience without much operatic background like me, the contributors are professional enough. Very often they are able to draw our attention to the essential characteristics of these singers and the nuances of their singing. I'm very thankful for their contributions.
