Compilation: Ettore Bastianini - Excerpts from La Damnation de Faust, Mazeppa, Chénier, and more!
$8.95
Description:
Assembling this compilation of Ettore Bastianini has been a poignant reminder of his extraordinary talent and the tragic brevity of his career. Bastianini began as a bass, and that rich, resonant quality remained with him even after his transition to baritone, making him particularly compelling in roles like Scarpia and Di Luna. However, he was equally captivating in roles that required a touch of pathos, such as Renato in Un Ballo in Maschera and Michele in Il Tabarro.
Spanning over two hours, this compilation features excerpts from La Damnation de Faust, Mazeppa, Andrea Chénier, Adriana Lecouvreur, Il Tabarro, Tosca, Nabucco, La Battaglia di Legnano, Il Trovatore, Un Ballo in Maschera, Aida, and Don Carlo. It stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of a truly great singer whose time with us was far too short.
