Description:

Giuseppe Taddei is at his absolute peak in the title role, delivering a masterful performance. He is joined by British soprano Amy Shuard, who transitions seamlessly between bloodthirsty, grotesque, and ultimately tragic, all while navigating the demanding vocal score with remarkable precision. (She omits the high D-flat at the end of the sleepwalking scene, but this is more than compensated by the opulence of tone she brings to the role.) Bruno Prevedi also makes a strong impression in the smaller role of Macduff. The sound quality is excellent.
