Query: Don't waste your money!

It is unfortunate that music as intelligently conceived, and skillfully crafted, should be presented in such a mediocre package. Giuseppe Sabbatini does not possess an adequate voice, one that would carry well, especially in a live recording; and his diction leaves a lot to be desired. Enkelejda Shkosa's performance is uneven at best, apparently hampered by a lack of performing experience? Michele Pertusi, on the other hand, is perfect in his role of Mephistopheles, but he alone does not save the performance. Sir Colin Davis conducts brilliantly, if a bit dispassionately. What makes this recording a terrible purchase, above all, is the surprisingly poor sound quality. I would have thought that LSO would have put more effort and professionalism into it, but they did not. Buying it would be a waste of money, as it was for me!
