Montserrat Caballé in the best !!!!An amazing magica version of Norma.For me, the best version of all the times.

I was very delighted that Opera Depot had this recording in their offer. The sending was quite okay and the quality of the two discs is also okay. Thank you!

Excellent Very good sound.

I found it impossible to judge the performance, since the tinny sound seems to come from the bottom of a well lined in, well, tin - it must have been recorded by someone with a cheap tape recorder. I listened once, couldn't imagine bothering to listen again, and threw away the discs. The sound is much better in the excerpts on YouTube from the same performance.

The sound of the recording is as I expected ***I had some problems with the shipment, because it was long time delayed. But I got a free replacement. Very friendly ...

No less than Monserrat Caballe herself called this performance one of her greatest. Everything worked for her on this evening despite the fact that the Mistral winds threatened to blow the orchestra's pages away and caused the costumes onstage to billow out dramatically. No matter. Caballe was in her finest voice, nothing in the music is too much for her. The top notes are all in place (listen to the dead on Cs in "Ah, non tremare!" towards the end of Act One) and she is at her most refined elsewhere. Her final plea to her father is devastating. Veasey matches her all the way, not shirking any of the high notes, and blending in the big duets supremely well. Vickers actually makes a character of Pollione. Yes, he ducks the written top C in his opening aria, but all his other high notes are in place and thrilling too. Ferrin is an excellent Oroveso and Patane leads the entire affair with authority and love.The sound is very good too, the voices forward and present even when the wind is howling in the background. Unfortunately, Opera Depot did not restore the opening of Act Two. Here the act begins at Adalgisa's entrance. It's on the DVD (available from VAI), but has been missing from all CDs I've encountered of this performance. All the same, any fans of Caballe or this opera in particular should acquire this set. It's that good!

Bonjour envoi rapide.

Great

I have this performance from another source. It is well worth the price just to hear Caballe’s Casta Diva. She is unbelievable. Vickers impresses as Pollione.
