Title: Less well than expected
Review: I originally have great hopes for this recording. Unfortunately, it turns out to be quite a disappointment.Much as I admire Domingo, I must say that he is not very idiomatic for the part of Siegfried, even if he sings with considerable musicianship. The style just isn't right, and there're some audible strain at the top notes.Voigt just hasn't got the stentorian tone for Brunnhilde and Isolde. Yes, she sings quite beautifully, but her top notes, while accurately placed, lack force and power. She doesn't convince the listener that she can be an imperious Valkyrie or an ardent lrish lover.The orchestral accompaniment is good, but not exceptionally so.I would award this recording 2 stars.
