Verdi: Macbeth - Zanasi, Lippert, G. Raimondi, Ferrin, de Palma; Previtali. Verona, 1972
$9.95
Description:
Mario Zanasi has a triumph in this performance, displaying beauty of tone and ease of production in the title role. As Lady Macbeth, Marion Lippert brings Wagnerian power throughout her range, yet never falters when Verdi calls for a lighter, more nuanced approach. Gianni Raimondi steals the show with "Alla paterna mano" and nearly causes a riot when Fernando Previtali refuses to repeat the aria despite the audience’s thunderous demand for an encore. The sound may lack a bit of range, but the vivid vocal performances more than compensate.
