Today I'm feeling like enjoying an opera...
Verdi: La Traviata
Ileana Cotrubas (Violetta Valery), Stefania Malagu (Flora Bervoix), Helena Jungwirth (Annina), Placido Domingo (Alfredo Germont), Sherrill Milnes (Giorgio Germont), Walter Gullino (Gastone), Bruno Grella (Barone Douphol) Alfredo Giacomotti (Marchese d’Obigny), Giovanni Foiani (Dottore Grenvil), Walter Gullino (Giuseppe)
Bayerischer Staatsopernchor & Bayerisches Staatsorchester, Carlos Kleiber
(recorded 1977)
An extraordinary performance by Carlos Kleiber impeccably played by the Bayerisches Staatsorchester. The SACD remastering is clear and atmospheric but the volume needs to be turned up higher than usual.
