Description:

Amy Shuard delivers a masterclass in Verdi singing, her opulent tone matched by a remarkable degree of control and precision. Jon Vickers, captured at his peak, brings heroic intensity and vocal command to Radamès. It’s a pleasure to hear Australian mezzo-soprano Margreta Elkins in a major role; while she may not possess the searing temperament of some of her peers, her Amneris is sung with finesse and security. The sound is slightly muffled, but the performances shine through.
