A wasted opportunity

"What a disappointment this record is! The sad part of it is that it has so much good material. The little zarzuela's music is charming and easy to listen to, but the voices kill it. The three principals are terribly wobbly. They're not su much old voices as worn voices. The arias a duets that follow the zarzuela are seldom recorded by themselves with the exception of "No puede ser" and "Caballero del alto plumero" and they'd have been a treasure to have had they been recorded with good soloists. Sometimes listening to to them is a real chore. I'd say that this record is only for those people who have to have every zarzuela record on CD that can be found on CD on the US."
