poor

Pappano takes the score far too slowly during the love duet, allowing Ghiorghu her drawn out affected smirks . Kaufmann allows himself to shout at this one of his earliest performaneces at the ROH. All this has the result of diminishing Bryn Terfels fine performance as if all three principals overact there is no contrast. Ghiorghuis magnificent voice falls victim to her incredibly irritating stage presence. Impossible to know whether she insisted on the exaggeratedly slow tempi whenever she is on stage, but Pappano should not hve indulged her

Excellent recording

Thoroughly enjoyed this recording with a superb caste. In fact I was so pleased with it I also quickly ordered and received another one which I gave to one of my friends who also thought the recording was superb. The acting as well as the voices were first class. Thank you
