Verdi - Nabucco -Fonit Cetra (Warner)
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.

[…] to involve themselves with the characters to the point of total identification: you need great artists rather than outstanding singers. And the orchestra creates ambiences of disquiet and terror. At the Colón it was offered only in 1939 before the great performances of 1962 and 1964 established it in the repertoire: Shuard, Colzani/Taddei, conductor Previtali, and the truly innovative production by Pöttgen. Unfortunately by 1998 the production by Jérôme Savary was contaminated by the distortion trend that has ruined European production ever since. And last year something even worse happened: a South African company presented a total travesty with a "Congolese Macbeth" where snatches of Verdi could be heard and poor Shakespeare was torn to pieces.
