Product: Mozart:Marriage of Figaro [VHS]
Rating: 3.0
Excellent performance but poor recording
This video is an old issue of 1973 and understandable is not recorded through the newest stereo recording technic system. Everything in this video is excellent, sung by the most popular and best singers like Kiri Te Kanawa, Illeana Cortruba,Benyamin Luxon and Frederica Von Stade, undoubtedly the performance is magnificent and excellent. However, disappointedly the recording is quite poor that the pure notes of the singing were not quite heard in this video. It is still enjoyable to watch and listen to this video, however if we want to listen to the pure notes of the music and singing, we better take an audio CD. Unless this video is reissued with the recent recording stereo technic system, I recommend to get another version or issuance of this opera, consequently also with different singers.
