"Though [Janowski] directs an enjoyable, unfailingly musical account of the work, he hardly gets down and dirty with this prototypical verismo score ... Janowski is best at capturing the score's gentle rusticity, as well its moments of sadness ... Melody Moore's Santuzza is the finest: it's a sympathetic characterisation and she sings generously and grandly, with plenty of rich, vibrant tone, even if I would like to hear more legato in her phrasing ... The other roles are well taken ... But as a whole, this 'Cav', though often appealing and affecting, isn't wholly convincing".
