Beautiful, but lacking something...

I bought this CD ages ago for ALW's music. I'm a big fan of his work. Ms. Brightman does a lovely job on most of these songs, but like some people have said, her voice is too shrill. I much preferred Emmy Rossum's performance as Christine, I'm sorry, but Ms. Brightman's high notes penetrate my defenses and give me an awful headache sometimes. In my opinion, she sounds far lovlier on the lower songs.

The bulk of this wonderful CD was recorded in l974, before the top of Scotto's voice--always a bit acidic--had turned positively treacherous. Selections from six Puccini operas, Catalani's La Wally, and Mascagni's Lodoletta and Iris find her not only in good voice, but with her usual searing insights.
