CD Reviews

A Verdian Melody.
Mr. M. H. Cox | Ebbw Vale, Gwent United Kingdom | 05/12/2004
(4 out of 5 stars)

"For the beginner in opera, this must be a starter,full of melodies, arias, duets, quartets, overtures, all easy to the ear. My favourite in this Opera is the bass Alvaro, sung on this record by Carlo Cava, rich, resonant, full of feeling, and confidence. Cornell McNeil, as ever, distinctive, with that bass/baritone texture. Virginia Zeani, powerful, in the Leontyne Price mould. The principle tenor Gianfranco Cecchele is in the Bergonzi/Alfredo Kraus class, singing with agression, and emotion, when required.
The loss of a star (5 to 4), must be for the recording. To enjoy this the listener should have a bass enhanced repro unit."
