3.0 out of 5 stars Dessi lets it down, July 8, 2002

By	Antony Nash "bercg" (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This performance is great in every way apart from Dessi's Nedda. Her voice is strained in the upper registers, and this is really apparent in "Stridono lassu" where she has problems hitting the high notes clearly. The result is a rather rough performance all around. Pavarotti of course is in fine voice and sings "Vesti la giubba" beautifully. The supporting cast is excellent with some great work from the chorus. The orchestra under Muti plays well and the sound is excellent. It's a shame this recording doesn't have a stronger Nedda or it would definitely get 5 stars.
