I don't know the provenance of this concert, but from the selections it looks like it was brought together fairly last minute. Each singer gets 4-5 solos and there is only one duet. Maybe there wasn't time to rehearse anything else. It doesn't really matter; the audience loves what it is hearing and so will you. Giaiotti never lacked for work and his solid Italianate bass-baritone was used in many recordings and broadcasts. His selections are very well sung and thoroughly predictable. He lacks individuality, but he was always reliable. Corelli provides some ringing high notes and also some fetching diminuendos that have the audience eating out of his hand. Caballe demonstrates her incredible versatility in selections from bel canto to verismo. In 1968 there was little she couldn't do, giving Corelli a run for his money. Their one duet (the final one from Andrea Chenier) is transposed down a half-step so neither singer has to work very hard, but is still thrilling. The sound is excellent though you'll need to turn up the volume a little. I've often wondered if this recording represents the entire concert (were there no orchestral selections?). Singing like this is what opera is all about!

What a fantastic concert with Montserrat Caballé at the top of her art and accompanied buy two great artists too. Very very beautiful.

can hardly hear the sound

Caballe and Corelli on spectacular form

Great performance.
