CD Reviews

Elegant, Beautiful & Dramatic
Impostazione | New York City Area | 12/04/2003
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I am thinking as I write "who would care about this Ernani?" It's over 50 years old, the singers were not the very top singers of their time, the maestro is not particularly distinguished, the opera itself is just about rarely performed so who cares? Well, I do. Caterina Mancini is a superwoman. This girl could sing! Her voice and dramatic talent are second to none period! She had the dramatic style of Verdi; accent, range, rhythmic precision, dynamic control, unrivalled power and muscle, and legato. These are the things Verdi wanted. I have not heard a better Elvira in person or on record.Sometimes, in lost places we may find treasures that are beyond anything we have experienced. In opera, it's time to recognize that the stuff of legend is all around us and that greatness exists not because of a name but because of a quality. This CD is just that and there are others too!I hope you enjoy it!"
