Format: DVD Ramon Vargas, a true bel cantist, turns in the finest Carlos since the young Carreras, and he acts the part of the confused youth well.
Recorded at the Vienna State Opera in 2004, sound and picture are superb; all three stereo formats are available. Subtitles are provided in all European languages. This view of the opera is unexpected to say the least, but what is most interesting about it is not the manner in which it jars, but in the ways it rings true. It's clearly for the adventurous; most will prefer the Pappano (with Mattila and Alagna on Kultur) in French, or the Met's (with Freni, Domingo, and Levine) in Italian. But this one is textually unique and, well, very thought-provoking indeed.
