SIMON BOCCANEGRA is an uneven work, but it does contain several magnificent scenes. This one, like the Councin Scene, is one. Both men are really superb here, two great singing actors at the peak of their art. Does the whole performance exist on DVD? This 1978 Scala production must have been tremendous. Look at this musical, dramatic and visual splendor, THEN go and look at the theatrical garbage we are being served these days.
Deux Dieux du chant réunis dans une production historique.
L'illustration d'une science du chant poussée à l'extrême. deux artistes qui n'ont jamais cédés aux sirènes du star système et qui ont toujours placés plus haut le respect de l'Art et du Compositeur.
I remember sitting in front of the TV and watching this live when i was 14 years old in Malta. i never missed a Scala opening Night back then. This was one of the memorable ones. Wonderful stuff.
documento straordinario di una felice stagione teatrale che non tornerà mai più. Dove trovare oggi un basso e un baritono che cantino questo straordinario duetto come fanno qui Cappuccili e Ghiaurov al loro meglio. Lo spettacolo rimane uno dei più mitici nella storia della Scala: Abbado, Strehler, un cast favoloso.
Mamma mia!!!!!!!!Che interpreti eccezionali...saluti

Wonderfully moving - real emotion expressed through their voices. A bench-mark for today...

This is really perfect. They were uncomparably fantastic wherever they appeared: Cappuccilli and Ghiaurov.
