Verdi: Attila
R. Raimondi, Stella, Guelfi, Cecchele; Muti
Florence, 1970
$9.95
Description:
This recording represents one of Riccardo Muti’s early ventures into the world of Verdi rarities. Free from the mannerisms that occasionally crept into his later interpretations, Muti demonstrates a profound understanding of what makes Verdi’s music so compelling.
Ruggero Raimondi, still relatively young in 1970, may lack some of the gravitas he would later bring to his roles, but he compensates with vibrant, virile singing. Antonietta Stella shows some signs of vocal wear. Nevertheless, her opulent soprano finds moments to shine. The sound is excellent.
