Editorial Review:
Amazon.com essential recording: This disc has most of the right ingredients for a classic Manon Lescaut. Plácido Domingo and Montserrat Caballé in their prime were two of the loveliest Puccini voices of the late 20th century. Their Spanish temperaments only aid in conveying the passion in this story of a love that survives unpleasant parents, religious vows, and arrest, and ends without a shred of dignity in the swamps of Louisiana. The main drawback here is that conductor Bruno Bartoletti, for all of his experience, could've given a fresher account of the score and, in general, the whole thing sounds a bit studio bound. However, operatic decisions are made on the basis of voices, and this set has them. --David Patrick Stearns

It's a shame that the usually reliable Bruno Bartoletti, for whatever reason, conducts in such a way that almost every scene of Manon Lescaut is drained of charm and dramatic conviction. This is sleepwalking on the podium, and yet Domingo and Caballe are in good voice. He is the star here, singing Des Grieux's infautation and anguish with deep feeling. Fortunately, there's the later, beautifully conducted version that Domingo made with Freni under Sinopoli (DG). His art had greatly deepened and the ... Read More

MANON LESCAUT is one of those operas that can sometimes sit on my shelf for long periods of time. At some point, I'll decide to listen to it after I've forgotten how much I enjoy it and it will be like finding a lost treasure.
The opera is still performed somewhat frequently today. While it can stand on its own musically, it offers listeners to discover a different side to Puccini. It was his first work to be a major success and while we do find an accomplished composer, we also see glimpses ... Read More
Rating: -
Bartoletti is an uninspiring conductor, Domingo, though in good voice, is suprisingly boring, and the sound is not as full as one might expect from EMI. But all of that is irrelevant given one thing: Caballe, at her vocal peak, offering the most astonishingly beautiful singing you've ever heard. There are more dramatic Manons and overall more satisfying sets, but once you've heard this one, you'll never want to be without it--for one lush, luxurious reason.
Rating: -
There is no definite recording of Puccini's first big success. Most Manon Lescaut recordings have things to offer. Who for example can resist Tebaldi or Freni in the title role, Pavarotti as De Grieux and Serafin's inspired conducting? Caballe and Domingo have great voices and this recording captures them in their prime. This raised my expectations for a great all-around Manon Lescaut but I was eventually a bit disappointed. They both tend to make the opera too mellow-ish and this reduces its ... Read More

85,000-ton cruise ship, which is scheduled to enter service in 2008, will be
named Queen Victoria. Based in Southampton, England, the Cunard Queen Victoria will be
the second largest Cunard Queen ever built. Together with the current flagship,
Queen Elizabeth 2, and Queen Mary 2, the biggest passenger liner ever, the
Cunard fleet will include three Queens for the first time – truly the most
famous ocean liners in the world.

Queen Victoria will enter service in the company’s 165th anniversary and will
operate cruises to and from Southampton to the Mediterranean, the Canaries,
Northern Europe, the Caribbean, and South America. The 1,968-passenger vessel
will feature a covered wraparound promenade deck, a forward-facing observation
lounge, a large Lido pool with a retractable magrodome, and 10 of the12
passenger decks will be served by exterior glass-walled lifts. Like QE2 and QM2,
the liner will have a Queens Grill, offering single-seating gourmet dining.
There will also be a unique Colonial Restaurant on Deck 11 with spectacular
panoramic views.

Queen Victoria cruises will offer a wide range of
accommodations, large standard outside cabins (170 square feet) and a high
percentage of balcony cabins (67%), thereby bringing new levels of luxury and
choice to passengers preferring to depart from a European port. Cruise

The on-board menus, entertainment and lecture program will be geared to British
tastes and the currency will be sterling. Queen Victoria will fly the red
ensign; she will have the name of her home port, Southampton, on her stern, and
she will have a British Captain and Officers.
In design terms the cruise Cunard Queen Victoria will have an undeniably British feel with two British design
teams being responsible for the interior of the Cunard Queen Victoria.
Queen Victoria is being built at Italy’s Fincantieri shipyard in Marghera, near
Venice, with her keel laid on July 12, 2003. One of the most technically
advanced shipbuilders in the world, Fincantieri has built more than 7,000
vessels, including many for Cunard’s parent Carnival Corporation. Originally
ordered as the fifth in a series of five 'Vista' class ships for sister company
Holland America, the contact was signed over to Cunard before the keel was laid
and Holland America then ordered a further ship for delivery in 2006.
Enjoy a Cruise on Queen Victoria. The
lead ship in the series, Zuiderdam, entered service in December 2002.
No cruise schedules have yet been
announced. Her float out is scheduled for May 2007, prior to
her delivery in March 2008.She is scheduled to enter service in April 2008. |
