A top ranking performance, only found in Japan, with an excellent Cedolins who is in a far better condition than in her Liceu's performance (Arthaus, 2007): beautiful voice, adequate play, sustained by good singers (excellent Adalgisa too), and Campanella is conducting with a great sense of the score. Only one limit: the orchestra which has difficulties to play piano when required (or maybe the recording is too close of the instruments?)
