Pros:

  • Eileen Farrell is glorious in the title role.
  • Mattiwilda Dobbs' lush soprano adds an added dimension to the role of Zerbinetta without shortchanging any of the vocal fireworks.
  • The recording also features counter-tenor Russell Oberlin in a rare turn as tenor in the role of Brighella.

Cons:

  • You may find yourself banging your head in frustration over the fact that Eileen Farrell didn't sing more Strauss in her career.
