Title: Unpleasant "pirate" sound
Review: I loved the Met broadcast of Fedora with Domingo and Scotto in the lead roles, which I have listened/watched over and over on TV via DVD. I like the music in this opera so much I decided to invest in a CD of Fedora that I could listen to while sitting at my computer. From the first few notes, I found the sound of the orchestra playing the overture appallingly bad. But I wanted to cover my ears when Renato Tebaldi started singing.... and I could go on.....Wish I had taken the time to read the other review which mentioned this is a pirate recording. Ugh. I must be completely spoiled by studio recordings. Too bad my CD player doesn't play DVDs...........
Is the review positive or negative?
