Excellent performance, great sound

I was shocked when I saw this DVD Audio for … less than $1 here! For one of the best opera written by one of the best composer in the history of music? In hi-definition Surround Sound format? You kidding me? What’s going on?
People pay more for downloading one crappy sounding mp3 format “song” of individuals that cannot sing, play or compose music like any modern “rap stars”!
I’m not a huge fan of operas, and I must confess that most of them are boring to me. Not this one. This opera is full of great melodies, inventive music and well-performed vocal parts.
If you haven’t shifted completely to the musical shewing gum mp3 format and still have good old universal player that plays DVD Audio, do yourself a favor and buy this disk! You won’t be disappointed.
