Listen to a Sample:

 

Antonietta Stella and Carlo Bergonzi were in the prime of their careers when this performance of La Forza del destino took place. They sing with astonishing security, making their notoriously treacherous parts seem easy. This lyricism reminds the listener that Verdi, even at his most dramatic, was at his core a composer born out of the bel canto tradition. The sound is good.
