Compilation: Fedora Barbieri - Arias from Don Carlo, Aida, Mavra, I Quatro Rusteghi, Orfeo ed Euridice, Medea, Giulio Cesare and more
$4.95
Description:
There may have been voices of greater sheer beauty, but few mezzo-sopranos matched Fedora Barbieri for stage presence and dramatic intensity. This compilation offers a wide-ranging portrait of her artistry, capturing her unmistakable vocal character and magnetic theatrical instincts across a strikingly diverse repertoire.
The selections span Baroque to Verdi, including arias and excerpts from Giulio Cesare, Orfeo ed Euridice, Medea, I Quatro rusteghi, Mavra, La Sacra rappresentazione di Abramo ed Isacco, Il Trovatore, Falstaff, Aida, and Don Carlo. Highlights include collaborations with major figures of the era such as Franco Corelli, Fernando Corena, and Ilva Ligabue, each contributing to the emotional richness of the recording.
All excerpts are presented in good sound, with the exception of the Aida selection, which is somewhat below the overall standard.
