Description: This CD offers tenor Placido Domingo in one of the best recordings of one of his best roles, in stirringly heroic voice as the headstrong Samson, and believable in his humiliation and regret at the end. Mezzo-soprano Waltraud Meier is more than adequate as the temptress Dalila; as the High Priest, Alain Fondary is marvellously evil, and bass Samuel Ramey makes the most out of the minor role of the Old Hebrew. Myung-Whun Chung conducts with sensitivity, and lets us enjoy the kitschy splendors of the Bacchanale. --Sarah Bryan Miller Combined shipping discount on all items unless otherwise noted.
