Description:

If you aren't already familiar with this performance, I would recommend that you start with the performance from a few days earlier which we has been in our catalog for a few years. It contains the same cast and the sound is much better. Nonetheless, I decided to release this recording because I know that the die-hard Sutherland fans out there would appreciate the chance to hear her in one of her greatest roles and note the slight variations in energy and pacing that are inevitable from night to night. Piero Cappuccilli is the only one in the cast who comes close to matching Sutherland's brilliance. The sound is fair.
