Verdi: Simon Boccanegra (excerpts) - Glossop, Te Kanawa, Christoff, Mauro, Allen; Matheson. London, 1973
$5.95
Description:
Peter Glossop delivers an iconic performance in the title role, combining a technique that would have been the envy of any Italian baritone of his day with a profound connection to both drama and text. A young Kiri Te Kanawa brings her trademark purity of tone to Amelia/Maria, while revealing surprising spinto reserves that give her portrayal luminous power. Boris Christoff adds gravitas with his sonorous interpretation of Fiesco. The sound is distant and there is a hiss throughout, and the extracts are somewhat haphazardly compiled, with breaks occurring in the middle of numbers.
