Title: Luckily, I listened at a friend's house...
Review: ... and didn't buy this repackaged sliced turkey! This is a mediocre piece of music, third-rate even by 19th C standards. It's horribly recorded, with shuffling feet and hacking coughs overwhelming the cellos and other bass instruments. The orchestra is ridiculously tinny and out of tune; I've heard better in plazas in provincial market towns of Argentina. The singing is "period" style, all right -- and a very bad period it was for singing, the mid 20th C, period! There is no reason to re-release such a travesty except greed.I had to save these comments for amazon, not wanting to antagonize my friend.
