Description:
This recording offers a rare and thrilling glimpse of a young Ghena Dimitrova in the florid role of Elvira—an assignment not typically associated with the powerhouse soprano. Known for her volcanic vocal energy and commanding stage presence, Dimitrova surprises here with her agility and lightness of touch, revealing a flexibility that complements her trademark power.
Franco Bordoni is an excellent Carlo, bringing style and vocal clarity to the role, with phrasing that supports and complements Dimitrova beautifully. Together, they create a performance that is both exciting and musically satisfying.
