Boito: Mefistofele
Treigle, Theyard, Neblett; Rudel
1971
$9.95
Description:
Norman Treigle, as Mefistofele, is on magnificent form here. For a singer whose name was synonymous with American opera, he demonstrates an exceptional command of Italian language and style, all while unleashing booming tones that would rival some of the greatest Italian basses of the 20th century. Carol Neblett, singing the dual roles of Margerita and Elena, brings youthful yet opulent vocalism to the performance. Harry Theyard may not have had the most glamorous tenor sound, but he compensates with polished Italianate phrasing and impressive technical ease, making a strong case for this challenging role.
BONUS:
Carol Neblett sings "Johohohe... Traft ihr das Schiff" from Der fliegende Holländer
