Great opera--less than great recording September 10, 2008
Warden Manford
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
The Opus Arts series has spoiled me. Their blu-ray discs contain crisp photography and beautiful sound. This Don Giovanni harmonia mundi production has neither clear photography nor quality sound. The overture was recorded in etched sound, almost painful to the ears. The arias were recorded at a distance, as though the viewer were seated many rows from the front. Sometimes the soloist could not be heard.
All being said, Vincent Boussard's direction was exceptional, the Rene Jacobs musical conducting and the orchestra quite extraordinary, the operatic performers accomplished and sang in concert. whether it be a duet, a trio or a quartet. The round/oval scenery by Vincent Lemaire, though, was odd, to say the least. It seems to be in vogue to use scenery that fails to appear life-like, but somehow must be mounted on some type of movable turntable to be turned around several times. Half of the time the audience was treated to a view of the back of the scenery. Odd, indeed.
