Aida is certainly one of my favorite operas. However this is not a great recording.
Domingo has been a truly great tenor, but is not in this recording. He is stiff, as usual, and too old for the character.

First, I am not a serious opera critic, so I cannot address the quality of the voice issue in the way that some other reviewers have. I am, however, a regular consumer of opera. I attend the opera a couple of times a year and at the best of them, I am transported to a different place, lose all sense of self, time and place. - A few weeks ago I was at the Met and heard Flemming sing Violetta, for example and was nearly moved to tears.
This production is disappointing to me because it has ... Read More
