The Very Worst of The Worst !, February 2, 2011
This review is from: Handel: Rodelinda (Audio CD)
OMG ! Just when you thought that you had heard everything... My question is: where did they ever assemble such an across the board inept and painful to listen to group of singers. I mean really ! It just boggles the mind. I have NEVER heard a more lifelesss and just plain BLAH! rendition of a baroque opera in my life.
I was punished for seeking out a bargain (got it 2nd hand @ a terrific price).
Guess I'll go and dig out my trusty old vinyl recording with Teresa Stich-Randall, Maureen Forrester etc. to hear a passionate & even sanguine performance of this excellent Handel opera. That & the 3 excerpts by Marilyn Horne on her early Bach & Handel disc, which are GREAT ! Enough said. Avoid this set at ANY & ALL COST. *JTQ.
