Customer ReviewsJust short of perfection....
Rating Point :5 Helpful Point :3
The "just short" only refers to the studio instead of a live recording. I had been looking for something "new" to hear (Im priviledged to do nothing but hear or see opera every waking moment). Because I hadnt heard or seen Eugene Onegin for at least a year, I went for that, and this recording. So I was curious to see what others thought of it, and was not suprised, only very satisfied to know that its so well thought of. I think I bought this immediately it was released sometime in 2002 after all, just look at the cast
A great "Onegin"
Rating Point :5 Helpful Point :16
Previous Amazon reviewers have commented on the history of this recording and its performers. I have nothing to add to that.
I shall say only this. When you hear the opening words of the very first duet you will be impressed. With each succeeding number, you will raise your opinion until you realize that this is one of those amazingly rare performances in which everything is right. This "Eugene Onegin" is the true measure of the opera, and a worthy companion to the Schipa "Don Pasquale," the Gigli "Andrea Chenier" and the Callas "Tosca."

I think this particular recording is poor : the singers, the sound quality, the selection of excerpts....
Amazons service was fine !
Very good in ALL respects
Rating Point :5 Helpful Point :8
Those reviewers discussing the artistic merits of this great recording have pretty much said it all. As to the one reviewer taking serious issue with the sonic quality -- perhaps he got a bad copy or else Opera dOro has cleaned it up since then. My copy, just purchased, has extremely clean sound, a bit on the dry side, but overall satisfying. I totally agree that this is one of the gems in their catalogue.
Onegin Sings From Inside the Box
Rating Point :2 Helpful Point :1
If you have any concerns for audio fidelity, pass by this offering. Like the other Opera DOro discs I have purchased, this one suffers from wretched sound quality. It appears to have been recorded from vinyl lp to disc. While this can be done with reasonably good results, it has not happened in this case. The vocals sound uniformly constrained. The higher frequencies appear to roll off abruptly, which yields a dull character, as if playing from inside a box. If your stereo system is poor, you might not notice, maybe...
