Synopsis

Product Description
On 13th July 2014 Carlo Bergonzi The Verdi Tenor - celebrates his 90th birthday. This special commemorative box includes all his best-known Verdi recordings, including six operas and two recitals.

Carlo Bergonzi recorded all the major Verdi roles. His 1974 recording of 31 major arias from every Verdi opera (CDs 14-16 in this collection) won multiple awards at its time of release, and is frequently referred to as a peerless achievement.

For the second half of the twentieth century, the voice of Italian tenor Carlo Bergonzi entranced audiences around the world. His voice epitomised the grandeur and lyric style associated with Verdi , although he was also known for his ability to sing verismo and bel canto roles.

Carlo Bergonzis Verdi recordings for Decca and Deutsche Grammophon have always had a substantial following even in deep catalogue, the six operas featured here generated nearly 1 million of turnover since 1992, and obviously much more before that.
