Blu-Ray - "The performances are uniformly superb; especially Violeta Urmana's Santuzza and Vladimir Galouzine's Canio, especially in the aria Vesti La Giubba, where he almost brings down the house. Very highly recommended!"

"As a visual spectacle, this performance is also quite interesting; Cavalleria Rusticana has taken on quite an abstract staging, with most of the sets on a diagonal slant, which requires a bit of an adjustment to fully appreciate the onstage action. Pagliacci returns to a more traditional, but no less visually striking presentation. The performances are uniformly superb; especially Violeta Urmana's Santuzza and Vladimir Galouzine's Canio, especially in the aria Vesti La Giubba, where he almost brings down the house. Very highly recommended!"
