Case in point: Anfossi's La finta gardiniera and JC Bach's La clemenza di Scipione. I listened to these two operas back to back this past weekend. The two operas were written about 7 years apart and both released on the DHM label. La finta was tastefully done and minimal vibrato was used and was a sheer joy to listen to. On its heels, I listened to La clemenza and the over-use of vibrato made the disc almost unbearable. Maybe it would have been more palatable had I not listened to the wonderful Anfossi disc first. This is the same fate that befell Zanaida: misuse of vibrato. It sounds like a goat singing a scale! <br />duckjammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01992434392568831273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2452898368844841110.post-25011397094993039292013-07-22T09:53:17.120-07:002013-07-22T09:53:17.120-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.duckjammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01992434392568831273noreply@blogger.com
