This review is from: Gounod - Romeo & Juliette / Gheorghiu · Alagna · Plasson [Highlights] (Audio CD)

After buying this CD at Sam's Record for CAD13.00, I do listen regularly. I heard this CD first time at Santa Clara Libarary at the bay area, CA. Well, 3 full CDs seems to be a little long for me, though I knew which arias are my favorite. well, now, I do have a highlight, I donot have to program to skip the boring part for me. Best arias for me are "O nuit divine...", "Va!, Je t'ai pardonne..","Dieu!...", "A toi, ma ..". They are very beautiful. In a way, pretty different feeling from Verdi Arias. In terms of Jewel song, you can hear better version by Hei-kyung hong(by RCA victor) or Sumi Jo(by Erato). I don't think you can expect good coloratura from Angela. However, her voice has a beautiful drama. I do recommend to buy this CD if you like voice with drama and nice tone.
