5.0 out of 5 stars Great live performance, July 22, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Verdi: Il Trovatore (Audio CD)
The first "customer review" is incorrect: the Azucena in this recording is the wonderful mezzo Elena Obraztsova, not Marilyn Horne. This is a live recording from 1975 and the principals are in fine voice. It's an enjoyable performance and I would certainly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thrilling recording!, August 14, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Verdi: Il Trovatore (Audio CD)
I was at the San Francisco Memorial Opera House at the time of this recording. And let me tell you the audience went wild for Sutherland and Pavorotti. This recording was done in 1975, with the two great singers at or near their miraculous prime. To hear a real Elvira, you must hear Sutherland, because she can deal with the coloratura as well as the vocal line. Wow! A coloratura soprano capable of singing Verdi! Pavorotti is spectacular in the difficult tenor role, matching the memory of Franco Corelli. I love this cd, a thrill a minute! If you love high notes, you will be very happy with this set.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sutherland IS diva, July 16, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Verdi: Il Trovatore (Audio CD)
No, Sutherland does not have the dramatic intensity of Leontyne Price in Verdi's muscic. But still the most creamy, beautiful sound before the public. She has the high notes, trills and the coloratura to put all the other Elviras to SHAME. Pavoritti the Perfect Count. Horne, not so great, so you have 2 out of three. But as a huge Sutherland fan, I still must have this recording, recorded LIVE at the eve of her vocal downfall.
