Negative Positive
Title: Good acting, good technique, poor voices...
Review: Unfortunately for these singers, at least in this recording, good voices are required for good opera. Although Taddei (Leporello) and Schwarzkopf (Donna Elvira) have voices and expressive talent, the rest of the cast falls short. Giovanni's light baritone is ill-suited for the role, Masetto is run-of-the-mill, and Il Commendatore sounds like an extremely old man speaking his part on pitch. For your money, there are other CDs to buy.
