Bizet: Carmen
Bumbry, Vickers, Elgar, Bacquier, Darrenkamp; Guadagno
1967
$9.95
Description:
Grace Bumbry delivers a commanding Carmen. She draws on the warmth and power of her middle register while dispatching the high notes with a brilliance not often heard from traditional mezzo-sopranos.
She is well matched by Jon Vickers as Don José, whose intensity mirrors her own. Vickers balances dramatic force with moments of striking vocal refinement. Gabriel Bacquier adds further distinction to the cast, bringing both bravado and polish to Escamillo.
