Editorial Review:Amazon.com:Plácido Domingo endows Quixote with a vocal richness and intensity no previous man of La Mancha has brought to the role. But as wonderful as Domingo is, he is too overpowering to capture the vulnerability of Quixote's mental state, an essential quality of this character. Julia Migenes gets trapped in Aldonza's massive register changes, even though her lower range is expressive and robust. She is unafraid of indulging the chest tone, a vital necessity in this role. The sore spot is Mandy Patinkin, who is misguided by delivering Sancho in an unnaturally nasal and obnoxious manner--he is more annoying than cute. A worthy, if far from perfect, recording.

"Man of La Mancha" is my favorite musical. It has a wonderful message and gives people a lot to think and talk about. The music is also very, very good and can withstand a variety of styles and interpretations. This operatic version features the outstanding Placido Domingo who, I feel, brings an authenticity to the role, perhaps because of his own Spanish nationality and background. This version is quite different from the musical, but still very nice. The fiery Julia Migenes is also a very appropriatly ...

In my opinion, the vocalists were the best selection. I thoroughly love Patinkin (and have since "The Princess Bride"), Migenes and Domingo is a fail-proof choice. I would have just liked to have seen a bit more of the story told in this track.

There are two reasons to buy this album.
One is in the breathtaking performances of Placido Domingo in the lead, and in the innkeeper in Samuel Ramey.
Two is the fact that the score from the musical is just plain good.
This recording doesn't capture the essence of the musical. I've only seen the musical once, and it was years ago, but that's always been my one criticism of it.
However, the two aforementioned vocal performances alone makes this recording ...

This recording is a real disappointment. I am a huge fan of this musical and I was saddened by this recording, which could have been fantastic. The idea of using opera singers to record American musicals is not a new idea, and has been successfully done in the past, but this misguided attempt can easily be bypassed.
Placido Domingo, miscast in a role that isn't vocally congenial to him, sounds confused most of the time in this unhappy recording. The role needs a deeper, more baritonal voice, preferably ...

Okay, this is probably more than biased, but I was given this album quite a few years ago, without even knowing what Man of La Mancha was. It inspired me to listen to the other cast recordings, and I still come back to this one the most!
I like the quality of Domingo's voice, so the accents hardly bother me. His vocals are just too easy for me to fall into. And as for Mandy Patinkin, I couldn't disagree more with general opinion. Maybe since he's the first Sancho I heard, it really grew on me, but ...
