Catalani: La Wally - Tebaldi, Bergonzi, Glossop, Corena; Cleva. 1968
$8.95
Description:
Although the love from the audience is intense, Renata Tebaldi is not heard at her best as Wally. The top of her voice feels precarious, making it hard to fully relax when she sings. Still, the richness of her middle voice, aided by the role's lower tessitura, allows her to carry much of the performance with grace. Carlo Bergonzi brings remarkable ease and élan to the demanding role of Giuseppe Hagenbach. While La Wally may never musically match the promise of its most famous aria, "Ebben? Ne andrò lontana," it remains a brilliant showcase for great singers. As Gellner, Peter Glossop seizes the opportunity, turning his show-stopping moments into dramatic highlights.
