Berlioz: Les Troyens (In English)
Vickers, Thebom, Shuard, F. Robinson, Rouleau, Collier; Kubelik
London, 1958
$14.95
Description:
The administration of Covent Garden must be admired for mounting such a monumental production of an opera that was virtually unknown at the time. With a first-rate cast, they make a compelling argument for the piece’s considerable merits. Jon Vickers, in the role of Enée, brings youthful vigor, and his crystal-clear diction further complements his one-of-a-kind tenor voice. Similarly, the opulence of Amy Shuard's silvery soprano never overshadows her engagement with the text. This performance serves as a lesson for young singers and those who may have previously been turned off by opera sung in English.
