As good as this studio recording is, the broadcast performance (4/12/1958) is MUCH better. Stevens is in much richer voice for the matinee, del Monaco is outstanding as Samson, Martial Singher sang his final Met broadcast quite well as the High Priest of Dagon, and Norman Scott (Abimelech) and Giorgio Tozzi (An old Hebrew) contribute POSITIVELY, as does Cleva's conducting (Irving Kolodin be DAMNED!). This recording, by the way, was done for RCA at the tail end of the "Met Record Club" era.

Fantastic pair for this opera although MDM attacks that final Bb a bit under pitch as he often did :P

[MsWolts]

Del Monaco riesce a piegare l'immane portata della sua voce in tenerezze sublimi e inaspettate. E il Si bemolle finale è sempre una folgore.

ottima dalilah e il più grande sansone della storia.
