I remember that pretty much dissapointed with Deborah Polaski as I was expecting much more from her. I have always enjoyed the performances of Lioba Braun. I think it was not a good idea to release this dvds and the Liceo has been releasing too many mid-low class performance recordings.Carloshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13519033651140851117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5483678492345755723.post-42581707087940168932008-12-18T13:58:00.000+01:002008-12-18T13:58:00.000+01:00Interesting!!!

The production looks ghastly beyond all imaging. Yikes! Yet you manage to be reasonable and fair throughout your superb-as-ever-review.<BR/>And I second Tyrel B's words of praise. You've inspired me to start saving for two Barenboim Tristan DVDs (one with each Meier) and the Copenhagen Ring next - as you did Mirto Picchihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10866463812887992584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5483678492345755723.post-48488874687786366332008-12-18T06:17:00.000+01:002008-12-18T06:17:00.000+01:00I simply adore you for your reviews!
