Review by Chip and Cara Shelly

The album Carmen by Georges Bizet, featuring the vocal talents of Ruža Baldani, Garcia Navarro, Justino Diaz, Alida Ferrarini, José Carreras, Rosa María Ysas, Manuel Garrido, Félix Vargas C, and Rafael Campos, is a stunning representation of the classic opera. The orchestra, led by Navarro, provides a rich and dynamic backdrop for the singers, allowing them to fully showcase their range and depth of emotion. Baldani, in particular, shines in the title role, bringing a fiery passion and intensity to her performances. Diaz and Carreras also deliver standout performances, bringing a sense of depth and complexity to their respective roles. Carmen is a must-listen for fans of classical music and opera, with this particular recording standing out as a particularly strong interpretation of the beloved work.
