{"product_id":"man-of-la-mancha","title":"Man of La Mancha","description":"Amazon.com\n\nPlácido Domingo endows Quixote with a vocal richness and intensity no previous man of La Mancha has brought to the role. But as wonderful as Domingo is, he is too overpowering to capture the vulnerability of Quixote's mental state, an essential quality of this character. Julia Migenes gets trapped in Aldonza's massive register changes, even though her lower range is expressive and robust. She is unafraid of indulging the chest tone, a vital necessity in this role. The sore spot is Mandy Patinkin, who is misguided by delivering Sancho in an unnaturally nasal and obnoxious manner--he is more annoying than cute. A worthy, if far from perfect, recording. --Barbara Eisner Bayer\n\nProduct Description\n\nThe long-awaited release of this album originally recorded in '91 features Placido Domingo in the title role of this 1965 musical. Man of La Mancha ran for nearly 6 years and won the New York Drama Circle Critics Award and the Tony for Best Musical; it is best known, however, for launching the immortal standard, \"The Impossible Dream.\" This cast encompasses both the worlds of opera and musical theater: Julia Migenes, Jerry Hadley, Samuel Ramey and Mandy Patinkin.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B00000279J\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: 4EKGU900F15E_ns\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Audio CD\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Individually inspected: Guaranteed to play perfectly or your money back.
