This German language Andrea Chénier features the great Heldentenor Helge Roswaenge.  His is definitely a German sound but the burnished, baritonal quality fits this role along with his ringing high notes.  Hilde Zadek was also better known for her performances of German opera but she shows that she can sing with Italianate passion when she wants to.   The final duet, done in key, is particularly exciting singing.  The sound is fair.
