 | | Arias from Carmen and La Muette de Portici, sung in French, are stilted; arias from Aida and Andrea Chenier, sung in German, are awkward, with a particularly disconcerting end to the Verdi: "Holde Aida" (Celeste Aida). |
 | | Arias from Pagliacci, Othello, Turandot, La Boheme, Andrea Chenier and La Gioconda, all sung in Italian, hardly represent Öhmann at his besthe sounds decidedly uncomfortable. |
 | | It isn't thatÖhmann isn't a fine singerrepertory must be right for him, and most of what is on this CD isn't, although it is good to have mementos of his Wagner. |
