De celoui-ci on sait la disponibilité, l´engagement, le rayonnement de passion quasi animal, plus la voix, ici ŕ son mieux . . . De trčs grandes performances . . .
Record Review / André Tubeuf, Classica - Repertoire (Paris) / 01. May 2006
... la pareja protagonista, Renata Scotto y Plácido Domingo: ella, en plenitud de facultades, es la Manon sońada por adecuación vocal, variedad de matices y talento dramático y él, en un rol que pone su registro agudo continuamente a prueba, es el entregado y carismático intérprete que conocemos ... Desde el foso, James Levine dirige con el brío y entusiasmo que le caracteriza ... Queda la lujosa producción, debida a Giancarlo Menotti, nada más y nada menos. ... bonus, entrevistas con Scotto, Domingo, Levine y Menotti que hacen aún más recomendable una grabación indispensable en todo aficionado a la ópera. Avisados quedan.
