Gounod: Faust
Gedda, Ghiaurov, Harper, Massard; Bartoletti
Buenos Aires, 1971
$14.95
Description:
The role of Faust sits comfortably within the lyrical strengths of Nicolai Gedda, whose honeyed tenor is ideally suited to the part. Nicolai Ghiaurov brings a dark, refined presence to Méphistophélès—his burnished bass voice lending the character a certain allure that’s hard to overlook. Heather Harper adds warmth and flexibility to Marguerite, combining tonal richness with impressive vocal agility.
The sound is somewhat muffled, but the quality of the performances still comes through.
