Massenet: Thaïs - Neblett, Patrick, Johnson, Berberian, Brooks; Andersson. 1973
$9.95
Description:
For those who recognize Thaïs as the neglected gem it is, this performance will be a revelation. Carol Neblett, in the title role, is nothing short of extraordinary—her voice gleams with both shimmer and steel, and her upper register soars effortlessly. She fully inhabits the role, exuding seductive glamour in the opera’s first half and then transitioning seamlessly into radiant, devotional lyricism following Thaïs’s transformation. The supporting cast is strong, with Patricia Brooks a graceful and expressive Albine and Ara Berberian offering sonorous authority as Palémon. While the sound quality is only fair, the vocal performances more than compensate.
