Take the following as truth: But reviewers agree that the recording succeeds--in spite of Domingo, and in spite of James Levine's overblown conducting (Alan Blyth, the Daily Telegraph )--mainly because of the cast, which includes soprano Cecilia Bartoli and Thomas Hampson.
Then the following statement: "Bartoli and Hampson save the recording, because they are among the best at their trade." is true, false, or inconclusive?
