5.0 out of 5 stars
PERFECT,
By Payam (Iran) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Offenbach: Les Contes d'Hoffmann (Audio CD)
The best Hoffmann ever!GEDDA is just perfect. Although I very much like Domingo but his Hoffmanns (Bonygne - Ozawa )are disgrace!! A baritone Nicklausse may seem odd but when you hear Benoit you don't even think of a mezzo. The rest of the cast are as good as one would guess and you can not find any Olympia more lovebale than Gianna D'Angelo. Above all it is unbelievable how Cluytens manages the Orchestra. The only drawback may be that George London's a little dry-voiced here. I say again : "JUST PERFECT" .

5.0 out of 5 stars
beautiful singing and fine conducting,
By A Customer
This review is from: Offenbach: Les Contes d'Hoffmann (Audio CD)
Gedda delivers an awesome performance as Hoffman, and Elizabeth Schwarzkopf truly sings like an angel- her Doll's Song is better than Joan Sutherland's recording. Cluytens conducts very well, and the whole opera sounds great. I really enjoyed this recording. If you don't want to hear the passages that were later added on, then you can always program your CD player to skip them. Enjoy!
