Description:

This recording offers a fascinating glimpse into the early career of Plácido Domingo. Still in his twenties, he sings with maturity well beyond his years. His rendition of Vesti la giubba is not only vocally stunning but also conveys the anguish of a truly broken man.

Although Igor Gorin never achieved the same level of fame as Domingo, he proves more than worthy of sharing the stage. He deftly navigates his powerful instrument through the demanding extremes of the role. While the sound quality is far from ideal, this recording remains an essential document for those who treasure Domingo's singular artistry.
