Amazon.co.uk Review
This is Plácido Domingo's third recording of IOtello/I and arguably his best. Besides benefiting from years of study and re-study, the older, rougher, darker Domingo voice is better suited to the role than his prettier, younger self. Also, the title character's rage always seemed a bit forced in previous recordings; not so here. His colleagues aren't always at peak level of inspiration but they're consistently excellent. Sergei Leiferkus's metallic, Russian sound is ideal for Iago: besides being sinister, he sounds like an outsider. Conductor Myung-Whun Chung is anything but a routinist, particularly with the Bastille forces that he worked with intensively for years. This is a fine modern recording of a great, great opera. --IDavid Patrick Stearns/I
