Florence Foster Jenkins for the Early Music crowd

Paul Schleuse | NYC & Binghamton, NY | 01/14/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"First of all, make no mistake about it--Nella Anfuso is a TERRIBLE singer, especially for the early baroque music in which she specializes. Approximate pitch, poor breath support, and a slow, wide vibrato are all hallmarks of her voice, and Caccini's prescribed ornaments are both incorrectly applied and incompetently executed. As someone who genuinely loves this music, I should be disgusted and offended... and yet listening to this recording is like watching a car crash: I can't turn away, and whenever I think it cannot get any worse, I am proved wrong. The "critical acclaim" and "musicological expertise" with which Madame Anfuso praises her own work just add to the luster of a woman who believes in her own talent and artistry against all odds."
