$12.95
Listen to a Sample:
Pros:
- Theo Adam brings his signature elegance and ease of tone to the title role.
- As Donna Anna, Anna Tomowa-Sintow displays dramatic soprano heft without any of the edge.
- Peter Schreier's Ottavio is both impeccably sung and heartbreaking.
- Otmar Suitner takes a decidedly Romantic approach to the score, and shows a knack for breathing with the singers in a way that gives both the vocalism and expression of text a more natural feel.
Cons:
- There is a hiss throughout the recording.
- Kay Griffel's Donna Elvira is marred by the fact that she never really learned the part.
