		Sherrill Milnes as Baron Scarpia is more problematic, in one of the most challenging roles in the Baritone repertory.
		Milnes' vocal range, usually one of his chief glories, seems restricted at both ends here, and he resorts to an extroverted singing style that's sneer-infested, unsubtle, and, with one notable exception, almost alien to beautiful tone.
		Milnes' contributions to this recording, while interpretively debatable, are never less than vocally adequate, sometimes thrilling, and do not significantly detract from, and certainly do not derail this performance from its propulsive course.
