This Aida is on steroids; Solti's strength as a conductor was in Wagner not Verdi; although this Aida was really well done with superb singing and magnificent sound and spectacle. Leontyne's first studio Aida in '62 with beautiful youthful voice; Vickers as a stentorian Radames, Gorr as an imperious Amneris and Merrill as a fatherly Amonasro. All in all a fine recording. The Triumphal March and Act 2 finale as heard here is amazing.

Stunning performance of one of the most exciting moments in all opera.
-
Bellissima interpretazione !
Tutti assolutamente sublimi !
GRAZIE !!!

Merrill is a lyric while Amonasro is a dramatic. He is too light for the role.

Bravo, Maestro Solti for your measured and unrushed tempi, which build to an overwhelming climax at the end of this Act. So many famous conductors get this wrong, thinking that rushing to the end provides excitement. No, no!

This is absolutely the greatest recording of AIDA ever made; the cast has never been equaled.

I have and treasure this recording. Robert Merrill was a justly famous baritone and a
fine Amonasro. It's not a stellar role like Figaro in Rossini's The Barber of Seville. He had a muti-faceted career in music and often sang the Star Spangled Banner at New York Yankee baseball games. It's easily among the best performances of that anthem ever sung anywhere. Mr. Merrill died in 2004 at age 87. Leonard Warren and Robert Merrill helped establish baritones as stars at the Metropolitan Opera.
