Description:

It is well-known that James McCracken possessed a rock-solid technique that enabled him to tackle even the most demanding tenor roles. What I didn’t realize was his capacity to deliver with such depth and intensity as he does in this performance.

Montserrat Caballé shines brilliantly as Desdemona, excelling in the ethereal moments of the love duet and her aria, as well as in the fiery outbursts of Act III. As Iago, Peter Glossop serves up his revenge ice-cold. The sound is good.
