This review is from: Renata Scotto ~ Verdi Complete Songs (Audio CD)
This CD is an interesting addition to any Verdi opera fan's collection. You can hear the connective tissue between what makes up the songs on this disc and masterworks like Rigoletto and Traviata. While her voice is a bit "edgy," Renata Scotto does a very adept (and musical) job with her songs. Paolo Washington's voice has thrilling gravitas, but he goes flat on occasion. Vincenzo Scalera's playing is sensitive and easy on the ear. The liner notes are nice too, including the words to all the songs (I wish more art song albums contained a transcript of the lyrics).
