"Brownlee and Coburn turn in enjoyable, technically superb performances. The tenor, his skills honed in the stratospheric realms of the earlier bel canto repertoire, is probably the most effortless Arturo on disc since Pavarotti. Every phrase is elegantly turned, the intonations is impeccable ... His 'A te, o cara' provides a masterclass in vocal control ... Coburn is similarly impressive ... and certainly deserve better than Orbelian's stolid and unimaginative support ... The orchestral playing is workmanlike, the choral singing lacking in focus and force ... In sum, although fans of the lead singers here are unlikely to be disappointed, this otherwise isn't a set to dislodge any current recommendations".
