Puccini: Manon Lescaut
Olivero, Tucker, Sardinero; Veltri
Caracas, 1972
$9.95
Description:
It’s hard to imagine a more perfectly matched pair in Manon Lescaut than Magda Olivero and Richard Tucker. Olivero’s searing intensity and dramatic fervor are met head-on by Tucker’s vocal brilliance and emotional immediacy. Together, they deliver Puccini with a rare combination of heat and refinement—this is verismo at its most compelling.
Vicente Sardinero is in fine form as Lescaut, offering a warm, solid baritone presence throughout. Bernard Fitch, a familiar figure from the Met's roster of character tenors, brings color and clarity to several of the smaller tenor roles.
