Listen to a Sample:

 

Pros:

  • Shirley Verrett was born to sing Dalila. She harnesses her formidable vocal resources to convey warmth, seduction and venomous spite.
  • Richard Cassilly's oversized tenor approaches biblical scale as Samson without ever sacrificing the natural sweetness of his voice.
  • Georges Prêtre brings surprising depth to Saint-Saëns lush score.

Cons:

  • None to mention.
