Thank you, Nick; I suppose I should have included that studio Bonynge recording but I guess I was going with the view of a sizeable number of critics that it was generally miscast, that in particular Sutherland's trilling bel canto approach and the incipient beat in her voice were all wrong for Leonora and that if you wanted the two leads they were better in the live San Francisco performance which, as I say in my review of that recording, is better sung and cast. Maybe I'll revisit it and ask my long-suffering Webmaster to insert a review into my survey.
