  • They are great! Not sure how one could sing that better than Vickers?

  • I remember watching this live on PBS back in '78 -- wonderful to see and hear it again. The greatest Otello of his generation and one of the best Verdi baritones --

  • Aquí, en este duo, se estan ahogando los dos, no puedenn con él, lo que no quiere decir , que VICKERS no fuera un grandísimo OTELLO, pero en esta representación hubo de todo, frente a momentos  sublimes, otros dejaban que desear, no por parte de RENATA SCOTTO, por supuesto, que estuvo inmejorable, de las mejores DESDEMONAS, que se pueden escuchar.

  • I love Vickers because He has this "Technique be damned..." mentality in his portrayls...It all about the moment..the emotion..... The greatest acting dramatic tenor ever!!!

  • @ReichssenderBerlin in Italiano lol

  • I agree Vickers is the sll-time best Otello. He sings the role opposite Tito Gobbi and Leonie Rysanek on the RCA Victor Living Stereo release.

  • I must agree. Gobbi counters with a superb Iago on the RCAVictor Living Stereo release.

  • @rossmcl177 AMEN!

  • The singing and orchestration are both superb. The acting and costumes leave a little to be desired. However, with opera I'd rather have the right sounds and questionable visuals (These days you often get the other way round!).

  • Temo ser la voz discordante, pero...MacNeil canta todo de forte a fortissimo: inclusive en "Era la notte". que exige sutileza. Cuando canta "Desdemona soave" lo hace en forte... Incluso su actuación es matonesca, no se ve el hombre que se ve "forzado" a revelar una verdad ingrata a su jefe y amigo,,,

    Otelo y Yago exigen talento dramático y vocal; si no, se puede caer en una parodia de 'I Pagliacci'-

  • ¡¡¡Magnificos!!!, tal ves, no sera la epoca en que mejor estaban; pero de todas

    formas se muestran soberbios y con una calidad artistica y vocal, que verdade-

    ramente, dan una catedra a muchos. Tienen altisima Gran Altura De Dos Gran-

    des Artistas. Verdaderamente Alto Nivel De Dos Grandes.

  • @Sadiesexy you mean is
