3.0 out of 5 stars Unbalanced microphone placement hurts a great opera, March 14, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Rossini: Elisabetta, Regina d'Inghilterra (Audio CD)

The music is wonderful, the voices very good, but the microphone placement is unbalanced. While there isn't any static or other background noise, the microphone is closer to the orchestra than to the singers, so to hear the singers well you have to have the music a bit too loud. Still a good buy at the price.

2.0 out of 5 stars Bad sound! Great performance!, September 7, 2001

This review is from: Rossini: Elisabetta, Regina d'Inghilterra (Audio CD)

As said before by another reviwer, the microphoning of the singers is completely wrong, what spoils this recording! The opera itself is interesting enough to deserve other (better) recordings. This performance seems to have been great (specially for Gencer and Grilli) unfortunately it is not very pleasant to listen to this cd.

2.0 out of 5 stars Great performance of a mediocre work, July 15, 2004

By 

madamemusico "madamemusico" (Cincinnati, Ohio USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Rossini: Elisabetta, Regina d'Inghilterra (Audio CD)

Gencer was a great soprano all right, but NOT of the 1930s and '40s as the previous reviewer stated...she made her debut in the early 1950s and sang until the early 1980s. Therefore the poor sound here is just the result of EXTREMELY bad miking!
