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
