Product: La Traviata (2001)
Rating: 5.0
Strong performance--one of the best
The conducting is lively and enlightening; the sets/costumes traditional but also colorful and engaging. The singing is uniformly excellent. Gruberova may be a slightly old looking Violetta, and Shicoff also a little old and earnest. Zancanaro is simply wonderful; together these singers can easily bring tears to your eyes. A highly recommended rendition of this great score.
