Giuseppe Verdi ( 1813-1901) Paolo Silveri, Caterina Mancini,Mario BenciAntonio Cassinelli, Gabriella GattiOrchestra sinfonica e Coro di Roma della RAIdir: Fernando PrevitaliFonit Cetra- Warner Music Italia (2012) 2 CDs[flac & cue; cover, inlays, booklet & disc scans] Review "Source: RAI broadcast from Rome on January 16, 1951. Sound quality: Fairly good mono. Some background hiss comes and goes, presumably reflecting the qualities of the original matrices. Voices are clearly caught and generally given predominance over the orchestra. At times, individual voices, particularly that of Silveri, seem to be located in an overly resonant space. Documentation: Libretto in Italian. Timed track listings. Graphics in the booklet include portraits of Verdi, Giuseppina Strepponi, the first Abigaille who many years later became Verdi's second wife and of the librettist, Temistocle Solera, a Frasier Crane lookalike, who was rumored to have seduced a queen of Spain.

Moor than a feeling
For those of you who can’t make it to the Met’s opening night, I am happy to provide you the opportunity to experience another Otello with a cast that was unmatchable for 1981. Plácido Domingo had by then pretty much established himself as the role’s leading interpreter, succeeding Jon Vickers and James McCracken whose let Met Moors were in the late 1970s. The luscious-voiced Teresa Zylis-Gara had been the Met’s reigning Desdemona for a decade. A stranger to North America, Renato Bruson provides an introspective, mesmerizing Jago (his Met debut in a 1969 broadcast of Lucia di Lammermoor was unfortunately overshadowed by Anna Moffo’s now-legendary on-air breakdown). Giuseppe Verdi: Otello Teatro Colón Michelangelo Veltri, conductor 27 June 1981 Otello – Plácido Domingo Desdemona – Teresa Zylis-Gara Jago – Renato Bruson Amelia – Aida Calamera Cassio – Ricardo Cassinelli Roderigo – Eduardo Sarramida […]
