I like Samson, but not quite as much as Sirius. Some listeners don’t cotton to Vinay, but I find him OK. This is Merrill’s first Met High Priest, and if not Gabriel Bacquier or Martial Singher, he has some major vocal trumps to play. I find Stevens a bit lacking on tonal voluptuousness for the part. Visually of course she had a lot to offer.
