$8.95
Listen to a Sample:
Cornell MacNeil was a mainstay at in Buenos Aires during the 60s and thrilled the natives in all of the great Verdi roles. Here as Simon Boccanegra he establishes why he had such a firm hand on Verdi operas. His voice has a dark hue and his top is ringing. Ilva Ligabue, a soprano who although sang in impressive houses, never quite made it to the big time. However, she holds her own very well next to MacNeil. The sound is excellent.
