Query: Where's the beef?

While the soprano and tenor arias are superb, the baritone is clearly off from his reputation and peak performance time. His stuff at the end of the second act is positively painful. Another disablilng problem is that the recording of the chorus and orchestra are so distorted as to make even familiar passages very difficult to recognize. If you are satisfied with great Corelli and Price performances, this is not going to bother you but the baritone and choral material is why I listen to this opera.
