'There is danger in locating an opera that depends so much on the
Tristan and Isolde story within a post-Wagnerian setting. Any mention
of love philtres conjures in the mind that fatal shipboard encounter
and the devastating sequel as the coast of Cornwall is reached.
Donizetti is, alas, no match for the mighty Wagner. The gentle
Nemorino of Paul Groves is quite content with two half-empty bottles
of Bordeaux as supposed cure for his love problems. Vocally at ease
for "Una furtiva lagrima", the likeable Groves is perhaps too much the
local butt to win the hand of his flighty landowning bride.'
