Listen to a Sample:
Pros:
- The headline of this recording should read: "A young José Carreras gets an important opportunity in a notoriously difficult role and triumphs!" Carreras sings with lyricism and dramatic commitment all while effortlessly navigating the treacherous score.
- Cesare Siepi's Mefistofele is overwhelming in beauty and malevolence.
- Carol Neblett does double-duty as Margharita and Elena, and shines in both roles.
Cons:
- The sound is a distant.
Bonus:
Carol Neblett sings "In questa reggia" from Turandot
In Mono
