Description:

James McCracken brings his trademark vocal stamina and heroic sound to the title role in this performance of Otello, meeting the part’s relentless demands head-on with unflagging power and intensity.

Leonie Rysanek offers a richly detailed Desdemona, striking a rare and compelling balance between fragility and inner strength. Her interpretation brings new depth to a character that is too often rendered one-dimensional, and her vocalism is as expressive as it is commanding.

There is some static throughout the recording.
