1.0 out of 5 stars Che mai vegg'io?, September 20, 2007
This review is from: Verdi: Ernani (Audio CD)
I'd like to nominate this as the worst modern ERNANI. Besides the rudimentary conducting (the muffled orchestra sounds as if covered by a blanket), the four principals - wooden actors whose names I don't even care to remember - are wobbly and seem to gasp for breath while phrasing their lines (extremely painful to hear). Though Dynamic is known for its note-complete sets, in the light of such a poor performance, the excision of second verses is more than welcome (there's also a short cut in the finale). The performance does improve a little in Act 4 (too late). Dynamic's release of this production on DVD one year after the CD version has added insult to injury. A full-price cipher (the star above is Verdi's).
