Rossini: Guglielmo Tell (In German) - Paskalis, Marton, de Ridder, Schenk; Erede. Frankfurt, 1975
$14.95
Description:
If you aren’t sure whether you have room in your collection for a German-language Guglielmo Tell, I have two words for you: Eva Marton. Marton sings the role of Matilde with a rare combination of beauty, power, and agility. It’s difficult to recall another performance of Rossini sung with such dramatic flair and technical control—she redefines expectations for the role.
The rest of the cast is equally compelling. Kostas Paskalis brings a mix of boldness and refinement to the title role, his performance both commanding and nuanced. Anton de Ridder, who would later take on heavier repertory, handles the punishing role of Arnoldo with impressive ease and musicality. Altogether, this recording invites a fresh appreciation for the dramatic potential in Rossini’s music.
