Puccini: La Fanciulla del west - Neblett, Domingo, Basiola; Sanzogno. Torino, 1974
$9.95
Description:
Carol Neblett was the perfect Minnie, with a voice that balanced warmth and strength, winning both hearts and ears. This performance is particularly notable as it marks her first time singing a role she would come to own for many years. Plácido Domingo famously described Dick Johnson as one of the most difficult Puccini roles to sing, but his performance here belies that challenge. It could be argued that this was one of his finest roles, perfectly suited to his temperament and baritonal voice.
