Mascagni: Cavalleria Rusticana
Stella, Di Stefano, Dondi; De Fabritiis
Palermo, 1963
$5.95
Description:
Antonietta Stella masterfully balances Santuzza's youthful innocence with the intense emotions arising from her dire situation. Giuseppe Di Stefano infuses Turiddu with his characteristic fervent charm; however, by 1963, signs of vocal strain were evident, with his tone becoming increasingly spread. Despite this, he delivers an emotionally charged performance, notably rendering the line "Mamma" with palpable dread, transforming a moment that often elicits audience chuckles into a profound realization of impending doom.
Note:
There is a very brief moment of light skipping at the beginning of the opening chorus.
