Wagner: Lohengrin (In Italian)
Giacomini, Chiara, Berini, Carroli, Patanè
Trieste, 1974
$14.95
Description:
In many respects, this ensemble of Italian singers captures Wagner’s innate lyricism more naturally than many German-born casts—an observation offered with all due respect to the great German interpreters of the repertoire. Giuseppe Giacomini is superb in the title role, navigating Lohengrin’s high-lying phrases with both security and elegance. Maria Chiara brings a velvety richness to Elsa’s music, while Bianca Berini delivers a fiercely compelling Ortrud. The only drawback is the sound, which suffers from a noticeable echo that slightly mutes the impact of an otherwise exceptional performance. Still, the vocalism on display is more than enough to warrant attention.
