Genre: Classical Music Media Format: Compact Disk Rating: Release Date: 14-MAR-1989 Amazon.com This is a fine performance that could have been even finer if it had been recorded a few years earlier when Renata Scotto had a voice more comparable to her skill at characterization. It is still a good voice, but one perceptibly on the way to disintegration under the influence of unwisely chosen roles. Riccardo Muti's conducting is thoughtful and dramatic, the rest of the cast is in fine voice, and the total production is highly satisfactory for listeners willing to make a few allowances. --Joe McLellan
