5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic voice (Norman), warm, perfect to represent Carmen.
Excellent recording despite 10 years of age. Norman is perfect in the role. Sound is great and true. Interpretation is excellent and French words can be understood at many occasion, which is not always so easy. Listen to it at loud volume !

1.0 out of 5 stars Jessye, I love you but a Carmen you're not
I just listened to a snippet from the confrontation duet in the last act, and you and he are singing two different operas, you more Alceste. You are too classy a lady to sing this role. But your voice is dependably seductive.

5.0 out of 5 stars Jessye Norman "IS" Carmen., January 7, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Bizet: Carmen / Jessye Norman, Freni, Shicoff, Estes, Le Roux; Ozawa [Highlights] (Audio CD)
To hear Norman's voice over an enourmous amount of voices in "Toreador" is overwhelming. The quintet is perfect, as an accurate clock, but much more inspired. Carmen
