Verdi: Il Trovatore (In German) - Rosvaenge, Sorrell, Draxler, Allman; Quadri. Wien, 1962
$9.95
Description:
This German-language performance of Il trovatore boasts a remarkably strong cast, with Christine Sorrell standing out as a particularly impressive Leonora. Her singing is poised and expressive, capturing the character’s nobility and emotional intensity.
Robert Allman makes a solid impression as Di Luna, while Sonja Draxler brings vocal weight and color to Azucena. Ironically, the most famous name in the cast—Helge Rosvaenge—is also its weakest link. Still, credit must be given: tackling the punishing role of Manrico at the age of 65 is no small feat, and he handles its demands with undeniable technical command.
