Notes & Reviews   Works on This Recording  
 Notes & Reviews Back to Top 
"...Berganza declared her aim of rescuing the role from bad traditions and from its insults to Spanish womanhood...Nothing is exaggerated yet nothing is left out in this sensuous yet never overtly sensual portrayal, bewitchingly sung...She works in keen rapport with Abbado, who brings clarity of texture, Mediterranean fire, and intense concentration to the score...Cotrubas makes a vulnerable touching Micaela. Robert Lloyd, the Zuniga speaks and sings in excellent French, and is the most engaging of the supporting cast...The recording is absolutely first rate, well balanced between voices and the secure LSO, and forward without being in the least confined." - Alan Blyth, GRAMOPHONE
