Product: La Traviata (2001)
Rating: 5.0
Every note is pure gold
This is an outstanding Traviata. Gruberova' outstanding control of her voice and her exquisite emoting make this the best Traviata I have seen. Every note from her is just pure gold. Traviata is not an easy role but it does not pose any problems for Gruberova. She is Traviata. I bet this is Gruberova at her very very best. Schicoff and Zancanaro are both very good. Schicoff's voice is kind of an acquired taste. I have followed his career for many years and this Traviata is a good representation of his artistry. His singing becomes more intense as the opera preceeds. His voice is not the most flexible but his sincerity is never in doubt. If you are looking for only one Traviata DVD in your collection, look no further.
