$9.95



Description:

Kiri Te Kanawa delivers a radiant performance as Arabella, recalling the legacy of Lisa Della Casa with a voice that is both pristine and opulent, effortlessly soaring above the orchestra while melting the heart with its warmth. Elizabeth Robson embodies Zdenka/Zdenko with spirited conviction, capturing the youthful energy of the character. Ingvar Wixell makes a deeply sympathetic Mandryka, skillfully balancing the character’s rustic charm with a refined nobility. Robert Tear also shines as Matteo, proving his ability to carry leading-man roles with vocal poise and expressive phrasing. The sound is slightly distant, with the voices coming through more clearly than the text, and a minute of the opening is unfortunately missing.
