Verdi: Un Ballo in maschera - Arroyo, Spiess, Mastromei, Chookasian; Molinari-Pradelli. Buenos Aires, 1970
$8.95
Description:
Martina Arroyo is the clear standout in this performance, offering a masterclass in Verdi singing. Her voice combines remarkable purity with commanding power.
Ludovico Spiess may not be a tenor for the ages, but his warm, steady tone brings a reliable presence to the cast. As Ulrica, Lili Chookasian is entirely in her element, drawing on the richness and depth of her resonant contralto.
There is some light skipping during the final minute of the opera, but it does little to detract from the overall impact of the performance.
