| | Amazon.com: Music: Verdi: Requiem Mass - Cherubini: Requiem in C minor / Scotto, Baltsa, Luchetti, Nesterenko; Muti (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07) |
 | | The bass is vocally OK but actually under-acts the words, and the tenor, while not vocally challenged either, sometimes seems to be a caricature of Italian singers, scooping, sliding and in the "Ingemisco" going horribly flat coming off a high note. |
 | | The often overlooked Cherubini Requiem, which appears on the second CD, is a crisp, melodic, haunting presentation. |
 | | It is fast and furious at the Dies Irae-so fast, in fact, that I feel other recordings should push-and it is almost orgasmal at the end of the recording (Libera Me). |
