Music reviews of Donizetti: La Favorita

Music Review: Most Excellent Recording
Rating: 5 Stars

First this short and meant only supplement the most excellent review by Mr. Muni. I can agree with everything he says, and would not have been so eloquent in expressing myself.

I found the audience, though not intrusive, certainly well "mic'ed". I felt as though they'd bought a seat for one of the microphones. However, their appreciation is certainly justified, and the quality of sound for a live recording is excellent.

Which brings us to another point, for a live vs. studio recording, the quality of the singing from start to finish is exquisite. No voice lagging at the beginning while they warm up, no intonation problems. Just top quality world class singing.

Two things that impressed me: the diction of the entire cast. One could understand virtually every word. (Well, at least hear them if you don't speak Italian.) The second was the chorus. Their diction was as clear as the soloists. Their sound as smooth as warm honey. Their entrances crisp.

As much as I enjoy having multiple copies of many operas, I am in no rush to find another Favorita. I believe this one will remain mine.
