The few times I've heard excerpts, it indeed did sound excellent.

Problem is, I'm just not that big a Pavarotti fan. Great for bel canto, tho'. I've never liked tenors in this role who are overmatched and that includes Bjoerlng. Yeah, turn the mics up but it's not the same. I want a big, bright Italian sound but these folks are very rare. I'm thinking Corelli, Del Monaco. Kaufmann, I don't think so, dark and non-Italianate.

Thanks for the reminder. Maybe I'll check it out all the way through.
