Pros:

  • It's hard to imagine a better argument for the merits of La Forza del destino.
  • As Leonora, Martina Arroyo solidifies her place as one of the greatest Verdi sopranos of her generation.
  • The baritonal quality of Carlo Cossutta's tenor might lead you to believe that the strataspheric tessitura of Alvaro would pose some problems, however he navigates the role with total technical security.
  • Piero Cappuccilli's Don Carlo finds a striking balance between the character's single-minded quest for revenge and his innate elegance.
  • Nicolai Ghiaurov and Fernando Corena are well-paird as Guadagno and Melitone.

Cons:

  • None to mention.
