What a recording and what a cast! Moffo at her best, and then the shear joy of Bergonzi.. This is my favorite Lucia. The engineers got it absolutely right; I feel that I was in the audience! Thanks
although i have fond memories of the old classic gigli,galli-curci,version, thisis a very worthy sub. Shame that Moffo's career was relitavely breif. Bergonz,i great.
i love the fact you can hear someone draw their sword from its scabbard (listen closely to the point a few bars after the sextet ends), even though this was a studio recording rather than a fully staged performance. Now THAT's attention to detail!
This is my absolute favorite recording of the opera "Lucia" -- every singer is letter-perfect throughout (the first act duet between Bergonzi and Moffo is simply magnificent!) and the reproduction is spectacular. The best of the RCA Italiana discs, to be sure.
The Departed brought me here.
