Title: Very bad Lady Macbeth!
Review: Lady Macbeth is a very bad character to begin with, but it doesn't help to be miscast in the role too. Mara Zampieri should never have been recorded in this opera. Very shrill and much to light a chest voice. Add Sinopoli's gear changes at odd times makes this a tough recording to recommend. The engineering is top-notch, but only serves to highlight the shortcomings of the vocal artists. Sorry, I really wanted to like this one.
