Title: Don't want to discourage...
Review: I don't want to discourage anyone from learning to love operatic singing, so if you love this CD, more power to you. I was mightily disappointed however. I am an opera "faniac" and of course a Leontyne Price admirer...but, here everything is wrong. The fact that it is "bleeding chunks" as one opera fan once described opera excerpts affected me more than I thought it would. The atmosphere just didn't establish The sonics were unappealing, but most of all the clincher for me was William Warfield's singing. He sounds threadbare in many places and his intonation was often cringe-worthy. I will never play this CD again.
Is the review positive or negative?
