Customer Reviews:

A good disc of Verdi favorites.......2002-11-08

Margison has an incredible instrument, I enjoy his voice. If I find out that he's going to be heard in a opera broadcast from the Met, or that he'll be part of the cast for an opera I'm going to see I feel confident that he'll sing well, and with little vocal difficulty. The reason I believe that he stays just clear of "stardom" is apparent on this disc.

Margison seems to do little in the way of interpretation. He has two volumes loud and not so loud, he's not very nuanced but its obvious that his voice his in excellent health, and that he has a very secure technique.

I do recommend this CD, but be forwarned!
