Wixell was the the sleaziest, slimiest Scarpia of them all. what a great singer/actor! this entire recording is stupendous, Caballe, Carreras and Wixell created magic with Sir davis1 thanks for the upload.

Beautiful voice, and very expressive. Not bombastic, which is a risk with this piece. Thanks!
