Title: Why do we need this new Trovatore?
Review: The performance is conducted on the slow side, probably in order to help Mr Boccelli to do his best.In fact Bocceli's interpretation, with the microphone focused on him to create a jumbo voice which this tenor has not, tries in vain to echo his great teacher - Franco Corelli. It comes to a disaster. Zaremba is a good singer but in the part of Azucena is the wrong choice. Veronica Villarroel exposes the same limits of interpretation as in the DVD from Covent Garden with Curra and Hvorostovsky. The best thing in all this production seems to be Carlo Guelfi, here recorded in a glorious voice. Guelfi should be the only good reason to buy this set - a very good di Luna. Carlo Colombara is impressive as Ferrando. If you are not a Boccelli fun, don't tuch this product.
