Verdi: Un Ballo in maschera - Di Stefano, Roberti, Ausensi, Domínguez; Cellini. Mexico, City, 1960
$9.95
Description:
Riccardo in Un Ballo in maschera proves to be an ideal vehicle for Giuseppe Di Stefano, allowing him to display not only his trademark elegance and honeyed tone, but also the searing intensity that made him one of the most compelling tenors of his time.
The supporting cast is equally strong. Margherita Roberto brings both vocal warmth and emotional depth to Amelia, navigating the role’s demands with assurance. Manuel Ausensi offers a dark, brooding Renato, and Oralia Dominguez lends Ulrica a sense of gravitas and mystery with her cavernous, expressive contralto.
The only drawback is the sound quality, which at times is watery and lacks dynamic range.
