Keeping on with the same subject, the acoustics in various theatres, here's a Macbeth from the petit Athens Lyric given in 2003. I'm not sitting at the platea, i'm actually sitting at the second balcony, center. The sound is not distant at all and there's barely any hiss (well, the original mini-disc has a crystalline sound...)
The performance is pretty good! Tatjana Serjan was quite unknown back in 2003 and her excellent Lady Macbeth came as a surprise! Robert Hyman is also a very good Macbeth and Dimitri Kavrakos delivers an impressive Banquo...I can't say the same thing about the Macduff sung by Stamatis Beris (**Parsifal blashes but has to admit that he booed severely Beris after "Ah! la paterna mano" that same night and of course the booing has been removed from the recording**)
Macbeth - G. Verdi
Macbeth: Robert Hyman
Lady Macbeth: Tatiana Serjan
Banquo: Dimitri Kavrakos
