Verdi: Ernani (In English)
Tinsley, Smith, Bickerstaff, Grant; Balkwill
London, 1967
$9.95
Description:
The ideal Elvira in Ernani must combine the agility of a Gilda with the vocal weight of an Aida—no small feat—and Pauline Tinsley delivers on both counts. Her performance is marked by flexibility, power, and the intense dramatic commitment that became her hallmark.
Donald Smith brings burly lyricism to the title role, his sound well-suited to Verdi’s writing for the romantic hero. Robert Bickerstaff, as Carlo, delivers a performance that stands shoulder to shoulder with many of the top Verdi baritones of his era—musically assured and vocally commanding.
BONUS:
Pauline Tinsley sings Verdi arias.
