Synopsis

Album Description

"Captures a trio of superb performers in their prime, in music that ideally suits their talents. Scotto?s Giulietta is rich, impassioned and youthful, Giacomo Aragall as Romeo is lucid, ringing and fluid right through his range, and Luciano Pavarotti, here singing Tebaldo, is simply magnificent. Add Claudio Abbado?s loving attention to orchestral legato and the excellent La Scala Chorus, and you have a rare example of first-class modern-day bel canto." ? ROUGH GUIDE TO OPERA Bellini?s telling of the Romeo and Juliet story, first staged in 1830, is one of his finest early works, and after decades of neglect it has almost returned today to the standard repertoire. Live 1967 recording.

CD Reviews

WARNING - wrongly pitched

Ralph Moore | Bishop's Stortford, UK | 08/13/2006

(1 out of 5 stars)

"Despite the attractions of a stellar cast this recording should be avoided; it's pitched over a semi-tone flat such that when I first heard it I couldn't work out why the singers didn't sound like themselves - until I realised the problem. Clearly, too, the whole thing must be too slow if the pitch has sagged. Better to go with the alternative Opera d'Oro recording with the same two great tenors and the same conductor but with Rinaldi as good as Scotto. The sound is much better on the latter, in any case. This sometimes happens with Opera d'Oro; you win some...but at their prices it's churlish to moan - I just wish they'd take more care with some of their re-mastering."

Brilliant Bellini singing!

A.I.A. | New York, NY | 01/25/2009

(5 out of 5 stars)

"As a tenor and singer of Bellini, I can honestly say that this is a recording to treasure. The cast is fantastic, particularly Aragall and Scotto. There is nothing else to say."
