Donizetti: Lucia di Lammermoor
Sills, Duval, Bickerstaff, Corwin; Karp
1972
$9.95
Description:
Beverly Sills brought a signature sense of fun and daring to every role she inhabited, no matter how serious the drama. Her performance here is a masterclass in bel canto tradition, but with a fresh perspective that finds new life in cadenzas and interpretive choices. Pierre Duval has the unenviable task of singing opposite a legend, yet holds his own with a baritonal tenor that is both pristine and expressive. The sound quality dips in Act II—wretched, even—but Acts I and III are listenable, and for the chance to hear Sills in her prime, it’s more than worth it.
