Good, but.................... May 13, 2006

10 out of 10 found this review helpful
I find it hard to rate this. I bought it to see Pavarotti in the role of Rodolfo, having listened for years to his superb performance under Karajan. He and Scotto get top marks, visually and vocally, in my book. I'm not as bothered as some people are by Pavarotti's slightly immobile acting, and Scotto more than makes up for him in terms of visual impact. Supporting roles are well taken and Levine's conducting, while not in Karajan's class to my taste, is effective. Sets are a bit drab but after all, this is poverty-striken bohemian life we're looking at. Video quality is OK, though some allowance must be made for its age. Here's the big "but". The prompter is clearly audible on my copy, no matter how much I play with the audio controls. It's particularly disconcerting to hear Mimi's dying words sotto voce just before Scotto has chance to deliver them. Whether or not this rules the performance out of court for you depends on your own levels of tolerance and ability to focus. I'm the kind of person who's blood pressure hits the ceiling when the audience around me is rustling paper, chewing mints or giving a synopsis of the story to neighbours. br /So for me it's five stars for the performance of those listed on the cover, with a two star reduction for the nameless intrusion. br /The interview with Scotto tagged on as an extra goes some way towards mitigating my disappointment.
