"Carmen is sung here by Julia Migenes Johnson. Her Habanera is wonderfully shapely and sexy, in a quite light flirty manner....As Micaela, Faith Esham displays a strong vibrato. This, coupled with her pleasantly warm voice, makes her Micaela sound a little knowing; not naïve and virginal enough. As Escamillo, Ruggiero Raimondi displays the familiar failing that the lower notes in his big aria seem just out of reach. Apart from this he gives a fine, robust performance." (MusicWeb)
