Macbeth

Giuseppe Verdi (1813–1901)

DESCRIPTION

Josephine Barstow and Sherrill Milnes combine their considerable vocal and dramatic resources to craft a dynamic interpretation of one of Verdi’s greatest Shakespeare adaptations. Her unusual vocal color, searing intensity, and flawless coloratura make her an ideal Lady, incisive and vividly characterized. Milnes’s vocal beauty and stylistic authenticity could well be the envy of any Italian-born singer, his phrasing and dramatic weight aligning powerfully with Verdi’s conception of the tormented anti-hero.
