Listen to a Sample:
I am always interested in hearing performances of Wagner in Italian. They lend the music a completely different quality and highlight Wagner's Italian influences (He loved Bellini and Rossini.) Aside from the oddity factor this is a very good performance due to the most part to Virginia Zeani. Her aria is full-throttle with wonderful chest tones. She is joined by her husband, Nicola Rossi-Lemeni, as Daland. The sound is good although there is some occasional distortion at climaxes.
