1.0 out of 5 stars Impossible to Listen To, February 22, 2007

Do NOT buy this recording. The recording quality of this set is so bad that I threw it away after struggling through most of one CD. GALA opera CDs are "hit or miss", and this one is the worst. It is literally the worst recorded sound I have ever heard commercially released. The whole thing sounds like someone shouting down a pipe. It's a shame because the cast has some excellent singers, but you wouldn't know it from this recording. GALA should be ashamed of themselves for even releasing it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor recording. Look elsewhere., October 17, 2006

This recording sounds like someone snuck a cheap cassette recorder into the theater, took his seat in the upper balcony, and recorded the performance while hiding the recorder under his coat. The orchestra sounds like it is off in the far distance, and the voices can barely be heard.

This set was so bad that I didn't even try to resell it. I just threw it in the trash. Don't waste your money on this badly recorded set.

It seems that the microphone was put in front of the mouth of a person that coughs all time. The "diva" is the coughing man; the principal voices and the chorus seem to be so far, that it's very difficult yo hear the music. I rate this item with one star just because I love Rossini and I respect Muti.
