5.0 out of 5 stars An Opéra comique tour de force, June 17, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Donizetti: La Fille Du Regiment (Audio CD)

This recording captures the two of the greatest bel cantosingers in a typical bel canto fanfare. Sutherland offers a convincingprotrayal of the vivandère Marie, while Alfredo Kraus, in his Tonio début, turns in a stylish performance. The supporting casts are fine... [the]studio recording made for Decca starring Sutherland and Pavarotti is indeed a marvellous recording. However, this live recording offers the atmopshere of theatre inevitably missing in the studio performance.

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW, August 9, 2000

This review is from: Donizetti: La Fille Du Regiment (Audio CD)

La stupenda at her absolute prime here. She had the most sensational voice in 1968. All the high notes were gigantic. ( as was her girth LOL ) The live recording is among the best I've heard, very, very clear. Buy this and you will see what real bravura singing is all about. Be prepared to hear many, many notes above high C. Sutherland will be remember in history as the vocal phenomenon of the 20th century, I predict.

5.0 out of 5 stars The very best, June 4, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Donizetti: La Fille Du Regiment (Audio CD)

I just bought this one. The performance is something I'll have to tell my grandchildren. All the bravura is child's play for Sutherland and Kraus. Kraus better than Pav! And the high notes are heaven.
This is better than the legendary studio set that cost far more.
