$8.95
Listen to a Sample:
Pros:
- Carol Neblett, in the relatively short role of the Queen of Sheba, manages to steal the show.
- Spiro Malas strikes an impressive blend of comic timing and regal gravitas as King Dodon.
- Enrico di Giuseppe had seemingly endless vocal range, making him ideal in the stratospherically high role of the Astrologer.
- A young Ruth Welting sings the Golden Cockerel and left me feeling a bit cheated that the role didn't give her more of a chance to show off her unique brilliance.
Cons:
- None to mention
BONUS:
Carol Neblett sings "Depuis le jour" from Louise
In Mono
