Title: average
Review: This compilation is commendable for some reasons and open to criticisms for others.Mr Hvorostovsky has a fine singing voice, unless he tries, as he does in some of the arias, to overdo it, inking and darkening it to scarce effect. A pity because where he keeps it light and soft, the lower voice of an accomplished baritone is ideal to trasmit the sheer sensuality of these pieces.His pronounciation is excellent and he gives the impression of perfectly knowing the words he is singing.A serious flaw lies in the choice of arias: it is never wise to mix sacred with mundane pieces, nor to juxtappose Handel's or Vivaldi's (who both require an individual compilation) opera excerpts with chamber pieces designed to entertain a small audience. The different styles clashes horribly even if the singing technique is distinguished.Orchestration is heavy and the sound engineer has not done a good job.
