Supervia's Incomparable Carmen
Jeffrey Lipscomb | Sacramento, CA United States | 05/03/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I will sum up my feelings about this disc in 4 declarative sentences:



1. Spanish mezzo-soprano Conchita Supervia (1895-1936) was quite simply the most tantalizing, most teasing, flat-out sexiest Carmen EVER.



2. Everything else on this CD is wonderful, but the Carmen excerpts are in a class of their own.



3. Pearl's exemplary transfers are FAR superior to those heard on Nimbus Prima Voce CD 7836/7, which sounds like it was recorded under water.



4. No self-respecting fan of great singing should pass this up!"
