2.0 out of 5 stars
Only if you absolutely must,, November 12, 2007
This review is from: Massenet: Herodiade (Audio CD)
It is unfortunate that this is the only recording of Caballe and Carreras in these roles. The performance dates from 1984 and, from what one can make out, they are both in good voice and in front af a very enthusiastic audience. What makes this unfortunate is the execrably bad recording itself. There are drop outs, a tremendous amount of "surface noise", and lots of "wow" and "flutter". It sounds as if the microphone was dangled and spinning at the same time. Only as an archive document for die hard fans should this be purchased. 2 stars for this wretched excuse for a recording, 1 for Caballe and 1 for Carreras. Zero otherwise.
