In Rossini's final masterpiece, \u003ci\u003eGuillaume Tell\u003c\/i\u003e, Muti finds the perfect balance between the momentum toward the works of Donizetti and Verdi and Rossini's quintessentially Classical approach. His musical choices are varied and specific, and he sustains the momentum of this uncut performance from the overture through the opera's rapturous final scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eTo a certain extent, he could hardly fail with the cast assembled for this performance. \u003cstrong\u003eNicolai Gedda\u003c\/strong\u003e is fearless as Arnoldo, displaying extraordinary high notes that I frankly did not know he possessed. \u003cstrong\u003eEva Marton\u003c\/strong\u003e is equally striking as Matilde. Heard here years before she would come to dominate the dramatic soprano repertoire, she demonstrates a delicacy of sound that suggests she could easily have become a bel canto specialist on the level of Joan Sutherland. \u003cstrong\u003eNorman Mittelmann\u003c\/strong\u003e, in the title role, balances the character's bluster with a persuasive fatherly warmth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003chr class=\"mobile-only-hr\"\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c!-- Right Column: Cast and Details --\u003e\n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n    \u003ch3 class=\"section-heading\" style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #330065; font-size: 21px;\"\u003eCAST\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003e\n      Guglielmo Tell – \u003cstrong\u003eNorman Mittelmann\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n      Arnoldo – \u003cstrong\u003eNicolai Gedda\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n      Matilde – \u003cstrong\u003eEva Marton\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n      Pescatore – \u003cstrong\u003eVittorio Terranova\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n      Rodolfo – \u003cstrong\u003eDino Forminchini\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n      Gualtiero – \u003cstrong\u003eAgostino Ferrin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n      Gessler – \u003cstrong\u003eLuigi Roni\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n      Melchtal – \u003cstrong\u003eMario Rinaudo\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n      Leutoldo – \u003cstrong\u003eGiorgio Giorgetti\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n      Jemmy – \u003cstrong\u003eMaria Casula\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n      Edwige – \u003cstrong\u003eFlora Rafanelli\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n    \u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003chr\u003e\n    \u003ch3 class=\"section-heading\" style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #330065; font-size: 21px;\"\u003eDETAILS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003e\n      Location: \u003cstrong\u003eFirenze\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n      Date: \u003cstrong\u003eMay 1972\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n      Conductor: \u003cstrong\u003eRiccardo Muti\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n      Catalogue Number: \u003cstrong\u003eOD 12419-3\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n      Label: \u003cstrong\u003eOpera Depot\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n      Number of Discs: \u003cstrong\u003e3\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n      \u003cstrong\u003eIn Mono\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n    \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Opera Depot","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":67585690304833,"sku":"12419-3","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"MP3","offer_id":67585690337601,"sku":"MP3 12419-3","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC","offer_id":67585690370369,"sku":"FLAC 12419-3","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0238\/9583\/files\/12419-3front.jpg?v=1790530112","url":"https:\/\/operadepot.com\/products\/rossini-guglielmo-tell-gedda-mittelmann-marton-muti","provider":"Opera Depot","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
