 | Donizetti: La Fille du régiment by Gaetano Donizetti
Buy new: £17.98 / Used from: £16.86 Sutherland and Pavarotti in their element. Pavarotti sings with greater freedom and brilliance than even some of his 1970's work.
|
 | Puccini: La Bohème
Buy new: £14.68 / Used from: £9.87 Pavarotti at his best although Freni cannot match de los Angeles and Callas in terms of characterisation. Von Karajan suffocates this opera of all spontaneity but the sound is very beautiful
|
 | Bellini: I Puritani by Vincenzo Bellini
Buy new: £39.98 / Used from: £27.00 Pavarotti sings with a coarser style than Kraus but makes so much more of the text. Sutherland in her prime, although sounding a little self-conscious
|
 | Donizetti: Lucia di Lammermoor
Buy new: £39.98 / Used from: £20.50 Pavarotti's Edguardo lacks some of the smooth elgance of Bergonzi and the charm of di Stefano but he makes up with great high notes and a characterisation full of elan
|
 | Verdi: Rigoletto by Giuseppe Verdi
Buy new: £14.68 / Used from: £13.08 Pavarotti's Duke is very fine, somewhere between to rather too noble Bjorling and the somewhat casual di Stefano. Sutherland less impressive but Milnes absolutely fantastic, similar to Warren

Listmania!
