(1 out of 5 stars)

"The good--Well, from what I can tell, this was a once-in-a-lifetime performance. Madeira luxuriated in the part of the seductress, a role perfectly suited for her beautiful mezzo-contralto voice. The muscle-bound doofus with a noble heart fit Del Monaco's range, power, and dramatic abilities perfectly. He obviously enjoyed the role like no other. Molinari-Pradelli conducted with the right mixture of grandness and mystery the opera calls for, plus the orchestra and chorus work sounded just as involved. The bad--All of this could be confirmed by the listener IF ONLY ONE COULD HEAR THE PERFORMANCE THROUGH THE AWFUL RECORDING! Honestly, it sounds as if it had been recorded under water. One day, technology will be able to restore this performance so it can be properly enjoyed. The ugly--Del Monaco and Madeira's talents are wasted in the fact that they didn't make a studio recording of this opera. So what if Del Monaco's French is questionable?"
