Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Use your money somewhere else
Review: This is a very poor, bad recording.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not an opera
Review: This is not close to an opera. We are given only a few arias and snatches of orchestral passages. The story is nearly left to stand on its own as a movie--which it does not do very well. It falls flat. If you have ever--seeing Shakespeare's OTHELLO--felt the need of Verdi's OTELLO music, you will have a similar, but much stronger, feeling here. The voices are excellent--what little we hear of them. Was orchestral sound no better than this in 1946?
