I'll call back later http://egotastic.in.net/ egotastic all stars The music is really pretty dreadful, most of it fired at full belt by a large orchestra and a massed chorus of priests, peasants and ragazzi. Glutinous folkloric colour (modal tunes, brass bands, accordions) is splattered on to the canvas, but there is no calm in the music, no gravity or dignity, and the vocal lines share a fault of many verismo operas - that of persistently masturbating towards a climax of explosive melody that it never achieves.
