5.0 out of 5 stars A Beautiful Perfomance of a Masterpiece, November 13, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Vives - Doña Francisquita / Domingo, Arteta, Mirabal, Del Portal, C. Álvarez, C. Chausson, M. Roa (Audio CD)

It is wonderful that the world is discovering zarzuela, the best kept secret in music. And there is no better way to be introduced to zarzuela than with this beautiful recording of Dona Francisquita, perhaps the greatest work of the genre. On this album, there is a general excellence in the performance of soloists, chorus and orchestra. Placido Domingo is in excellent voice, combining passion and tenderness. Ainhoa Arteta is charming as Francisquita. Her voice is fresh, with excellent diction. Only on the technical side is Maria Bayo slightly better. Linda Mirabal is magnificent as Aurora. Her use of chest voice is exciting, she could be a great Carmen. The rest of the cast is good, the chorus is excellent, and the orchesta and conductor gives excitement to the wonderful score. Viva la Zarzuela!
