This recording of El Gato Montés is absolutely amazing! I was unfamiliar with the work... it is a mixture of Puccini and Zorro! Soaring vocal lines, humorous characters, mysterious prophecies... every moment is filled with drama. The spanish-gypsy flavor penetrates everything. It is beautifully sung by Mr. Domingo, Ms. Villarroel and Mr. Pons, who capture the dramatic intent, as well as the inherent lyricism of each phrase. It is such a shame that such a beautiful work should remain relatively unknown. Well worth buying for opera lovers everywhere. -- L. Gustavo Castro Ramirez
