Bizet: Carmen
Berganza, Domingo, Mitchell, Krause; Abbado
Edinburgh, 1977
$9.95
Description:
Teresa Berganza offers a refreshingly nuanced portrayal of Carmen, eschewing the usual vocal heft in favor of a more introspective sensuality that adds layers to the character. Plácido Domingo is magnetic as José, delivering a final scene that radiates barely contained desperation. Leona Mitchell's Micaëla brings sincerity and warmth, while Tom Krause lends Escamillo a suave charm without slipping into caricature. With Claudio Abbado at the helm, Bizet’s orchestration breathes with elegance and subtle drama.
