Decca really should stop raiding their archives and re-releasing recordings which are well past their sell-by date. Even at bargain price, this Carmen has little to commend it. Resnik excelled in Strauss villains, and it is unfortunately that approach she adopts here. This must be the most brutal, unsexy gypsy on disc, and listeners will search in vain for elegance or elan in this interpretation. Del Monaco produces a monotonous forte throughout, chewing up the line and relying on his impressive top notes to carry him through - his French is execrable.

Not too impressed with the quality of the recording... I was really hoping for something MUCH better than that. If someone could recommended a brilliant audio recording of Carmen that would be just fantastic. This one lets me down I think. The singing is "top-drawer" though.
