The recit is a bit sluggish....

While I am happy with the aria accompaniment, the recit section is a bit sluggish, almost as if the player built in retards.

However, since it's a tape it's almost more useful is the accompaniment is strict. The sluggish recit makes it hard to follow and is distracting.

However, the aria section is fine and useful to practice with.

Is not easy...

Dear customer,
I know that not everybody is happy with the tempo I choose for the arias.
We are looking for a new program that can change the tempo while the aria is playing.
Is not easy and we need time.
We do all the best we can to make everyone happy.
Is 20 years I'm working as accompanist with singers and I've never found a singer or a conductor with the same tempo of another.
"When I am laid" was an aria on request and the customer who bought it was happy with that.

Thank you for your comment, I hope you'll find something more satisfactory for you in our catalog.

Roberta
:-)
