Verdi: Il Trovatore - Neblett, Molese, Casei, Bardelli, Densen; Suppa. 1975
$8.95
Description:
Carol Neblett shines in the role of Leonora, effortlessly showcasing her flawless technique and vocal power. She moves seamlessly between delicate passages and powerful, declamatory moments, demonstrating Verdi at its best. Nedda Casei, while impressive in her middle range, struggles a bit with the top notes, which thin out somewhat.
However, Carol Neblett is the standout in the performance, with her remarkable portrayal of Leonora contrasting with the rest of the ensemble, which falls into the pitfalls of regional opera. The chorus, in particular, falters, missing entrances and failing to support the singers properly. While the conductor may have lacked the necessary resources to fully bring out the Verdi grandeur, he also didn’t provide the singers with enough space to properly deliver the long, lyrical Verdian lines.
