5.0 out of 5 stars THE VERY BEST LUCIA ON RECORD, March 4, 2008

This review is from: Lucia Di Lammermoor (Audio CD)

THIS PERFORMANCE ALSO APPEARS ON A BUDGET LABEL AND AN INTALIAN IMPORT, BUT FOR MY MONEY I'D RATHER HAVE THIS RECORDING OF IT. YOU ARE LISTENING NOT ONLY TO THE ABSOLUTE EPITOME OF PERFECTION AS TO DONIZETTI'S MUSIC, BUT TO A HISTORICAL MOMENT AS WELL. DI STEFANO--MAY HE REST IN PEACE, HAVING DIED YESTERDAY--AT HIS REFULGENT BEST. PANERAI AND ZACCARIA, MAGNIFICENT. AND, OF COURSE, THERE ARE NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE LA DIVINA'S PERFORMANCE; SHE TAUGHT SUBSEQUENT GENERATIONS OF SOPRANOS HOW TO SING THIS ROLE. ADD TO ALL THAT THE EXCITEMENT OF A LIVE PERFORMANCE IN GREAT MONO SOUND, AND YOU HAVE A RECORDING FOR THE AGES.
