I was watching the YouTube recording from Braunschweigkonzert 2009 with Anna Netrebko und Dmitri Hvorostovsky perform the stage version of Onegin.
I am not a big fun of Netrebko but this Braunschweigkonzert recording is very interesting form… audio perspective. Whatever audio methodology they use (looks like a regular bootleg from a listening sit) it very clearly depicts HOW bad audio destroy the things. Netrebko and Hvorostovsky sing the closing duet of the opera; they do bad or good is irrelevant now. However, pay attention that Netrebko’s and Hvorostovsky’s voices do not mixed – they sound as two alien voices, almost in alien tune. I am sure that it was NOT how it was in reality but it was how bad audio made it to be – destroying very deal-seated fabric of operatic performance.
