Placido Domingo's appearance on the package, compellingly photographed in costume as the ancient King of Crete, (Anthony Tommasini, the New York Times ) is the main selling point for this new recording of one of Mozart's more obscure operas--a fact that does not make critics happy.
Placido Domingo is the reason that people are purchasing the new Mozard opera recordings.
Placido Domingo's appearance is absolutely atrocious and uncompelling.
