This is an example of what happens when the ego of the director gets in the way of the art. A simple basic rule of filming singers is that the camera stays on the singer all the time they are singing. On this dvd Henri-Georges Clouzot constantly moves the camera off the singers half-way through the phrase. It's distracting and makes it impossible to focus properly on the music. Given that in this instance the singers include at least two of the greatest of the great, it's not merely irritating - it's insulting.

A wonderful production for students of singing. If you want to feel a part of something bigger and more historic watch this then discuss it with your singing teacher (providing that your teacher is over 50 and does actually know who these singers are). The footage of Bjorling and tebaldi is fantastic, notice how bored bjorling looks when tebaldi is singing! Camp performances were the norm back then as Martinelli and Schipa prove. Above all you can listen and watch the finest singers of the recording era do waht we can only aspire to do. Don't buy this to improve your singing. Buy this to improve your art.

I Thoroughly enjoyed this great,but short(45mins)tape,one point,the "Sempre Libera"turns out to be another Lucia mad scene,and the Lily Pons is the"Je Suis Titania" from Mignon,not the Gavotte.
But still thoroughly enjoyable tape,buy it while you still can....and its other companion tape.
