Here Nelly Miricioiu makes a welcome return to the studios as Camilla, and her brother (and murderer) is the admirable Anthony Michaels-Moore. Miricioiu is one of the many in her generation who seem to have ineradicably at the back of the mind an aural image of Maria Callas in such music: happily, the influence does not extend to exaggerated register breaks and squally high notes, but it does insinuate itself into many a portamento and encourage that kind of chesty glottal effect so often used when dramatic emphasis is needed. When purely herself she sings beautifully and with eloquent expression. Michaels-Moore has the great advantage of a fine voice and well-schooled, even production, yet just a little less of the English gentleman is wanted to give authenticity to his cries of "Empia donna!" and "Oh mio furor!". Something of the same sort might be said of Alastair Miles, whose basso cantante has fine dignified sonority but not the vibrancy and emotional involvement of the old Italians. The tenor, Marcus Jerome, does carry some emotional conviction, the voice making up in point and concentration for what it may lack in body.
