Description:

Johanna Meier was a remarkably versatile singer, excelling in styles ranging from Wagner and Strauss to Verdi. In this performance, she showcases her Verdi prowess with a blend of power and delicacy. Ermanno Mauro delivers a solid portrayal of Gustavo, and Pablo Elvira shines as an excellent Anckarström.

Julius Rudel’s conducting stands out for its depth of character and insight, a testament to his exceptional artistry. Having worked with him, I can attest to his unique ability to embody the personalities within the score—even giving cues in character to those on the receiving end. The sound quality is very good, making this a truly memorable performance.
