4.0 out of 5 stars Very good - but not the best, 30 Nov 2008

By	Ralph Moore (Bishop's Stortford, UK) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

Many swear by this Levine recording with Scotto and Domingo; it is very dramatic and beautifully played, but, despite her histrionic abilities, Scotto's raw top bothers me, Pablo Elvira's Alfio is ordinary and even a little under-powered, and Levine does not bestow upon this music the last ounce of flexibility and affection it ultimately requires - thus the Intermezzo does not "swoon" as it should. I listened carefully and admired much that I heard but Domingo does not provide the brute, animal passion of Del Monaco in the 1961 Serafin recording with Simionato and Cornell MacNeill (see my review) or the plangent incisiveness of Bjorling in the intermittently available 1957 version conducted by Erede with the dream team of Tebaldi, Bjorling and Bastianini, all in top form. This is undoubtedly very fine but, as we know, the best is the enemy of the good and you get a more authentic, better sung and more idiomatically played "Cav" if you go with the older recordings.
