YOU HAD TO BE THERE, September 29, 2006
This review is from: Verdi: Ernani / Sanzogno (Audio CD)
WELCOME TO LA FENICE IN VENICE, WHERE ERNANI RISES LIKE A PHOENIX FROM THE
GNARLED ASHES OF DEL MONACO'S BULLYING VOICE--AT LEAST HE DOESN'T SOUND
WIMPY LIKE TODAY'S TENOR'S DO. THE SOPRANO, BARITONE, BASS, CHORUS AND
ORCHESTRA ARE FINE AS IS THE RECORDING. HOWEVER, LOOK FOR FRANCO CORELLI'S
ERNANI FROM THE 1060'S TO HEAR HOW THIS SHOULD BE DONE. OF COURSE, THE
TOUCHSTONE REMAINS THE RCA ERNANI WITH BERGONZI AND PRICE---EVVIVA!
