Verdi: Aida
Arroyo, King, Cossotto, Mastromei, Vinco; Gavazzeni
Buenos Aires, 1971
$9.95
Description:
This recording showcases Martina Arroyo as Aida and James King in a rare appearance as Radamès. While neither brings a traditionally Italianate approach to their roles, both infuse their performances with the distinctive qualities that set them apart as artists.
James King, in particular, shines as Radamès, delivering a performance marked by his signature vocal strength and dramatic intensity. Fiorenza Cossotto, a familiar name to fans of Aida, reminds us why she dominated the role of Amneris for decades with a portrayal that is both commanding and deeply expressive.
The sound quality is excellent.
