This performance of Bellini's lovely opera from Sardinia has a superb Amina in Eglise Gutierrez, the finest since Callas
April 2011
This is not a perfect Sonnambula, but visually it's as lovely as can be imagined... for [Gutierrez] alone the DVD is a 'must'. [She] is a true lyric-coloratura, with luscious warmth in the lower middle but also a glittering extension beyond high C. Vocally she has every requirement for Amina...Benini brings his considerable experience to the fore, leading a confident and stylistically astute performance
6th November 2013
Gutierrez is quite superb...having a full, warm and womanly tone that extends with evenness, purity and flexibility into the highest range...Benini is masterful in his choice of tempi and support of his singers whilst the vibrancy and acted involvement of the Chorus of the Teatro Lirico di Cagliari is also welcome.
