Verdi: Otello - Del Monaco, Kabaivanska, Gobbi, Veasey, Ward, Robinson; Solti. London, 1963
$8.95
Description:
This recording of Otello is a powerful testament to why Georg Solti’s tenure at Covent Garden remains the stuff of legend. Far from mere reputation, the performance brims with intensity, polish, and dramatic conviction.
Mario Del Monaco and Tito Gobbi are ideally matched as Otello and Iago, their vocal and dramatic chemistry driving the opera’s central conflict with gripping force. Raina Kabaivanska brings both radiance and resolve to Desdemona, capturing the character’s strength without sacrificing vocal warmth. Josephine Veasey offers a standout Emilia—detailed, expressive, and arguably one of the finest on record.
The sound is excellent, capturing the full dynamic range and clarity of this exceptional performance.
