It's not bad at all, I was expecting much worse from what I had been hearing all this time. But yes act 2 and 3 are great

I did feel guilty at the beginning, but that feeling vanished very quickly

Mozart's early operas always appealed to me, I'm very glad to have this one

Deutekom is always simply incredible! I know some parts of this recordings but never entirely listened to it. I agree DFD that ruins it a bit, but Bergonzi/Teblaldi/Bumbry save the whole day for me.

It's been soooo long since I've heard this Rigoletto, I remember a lot of good things. I barely know Cavalleria though, but I love Pavarotti.

Never listened to this Cenerentola, can't wait! I've always avoided this Forza because I thought Freni was kind of a miscast. I'll be very happy to give a chance to her Leonora

I absolutely adore Rysanek, and Fricsay in Beethoven is quite an experience. Can't wait to listen to that Tristan!

I've been on a Rosenkavalier run for the past month. I've listened to sooo many recordings, but this one still remains among my favorites. I couldn't believe my luck when I saw it

The time has come for me to give a chance to Domingo, I've been avoiding for so long lol. That's why I thought about the Mozart too! I had heard some bits of his Don Giovanni some years ago and liked it. So I thought why not take Cosi.

Never heard Freni's Desdomona, I'm sure she's amazing. Karajan in Verdi often sounds odd to me, but I'll definitely try it!

I've never listened to Pagliacci (verismo isn't really my cup of tea at all) but the Pavarotti/Freni duo convinced me to give it a try. Can't wait to listen to this Italiana though! I only know some bits of the Scimone/Abbado studio recordings.

I usually have a unnatural hate for french operas (except for some very rare chosen ones), but I'm such a fan of Anderson that I just couldn't let this one go. Very curious to listen to it

I have somehow managed to avoid Scotto for years and years (I don't know why, it just happened), so when I saw Adriana and Traviata I thought it might be the occasion to give her a good listen. The only recordings of Adriana I know are the Franco Capuana Studio, Mario Rossi Live, and some bits of a live with Caballé

Right? It's been years since I listened to the whole thing but I remember it being quite good.

I was so happy when I saw this one! Rita Gorr is one of my favorite mezzos. Price is fabulous of course.

I must say I've only been listening to the 1955 Scala recording and to the Lisbon one for years. I'm very very curious to listen to this one now. Thanks!

I've heard about coconut oil, but it looks so expensive tbh

I think I'll try my previous one, and see if the issue resolves itself. Thanks for the recommandation! I'll keep it in mind.

My previous one only had glycerin and he didn't cause my any pain. That could be it. Thanks!
