Description:

Pros:

• Ilva Ligabue is phenomenal as Leonora. I have no idea why she was not a household name.
• Carlo Bergonzi demonstrates why he was the epitome of class.
• Giulietta Simionato is an earthy Preziosilla.
• Nicolai Ghiaurov as Guardiano and Renato Capecchi as Melitone are icing on the cake a very tasty vocal cake.

Cons:

• Unfortunately, Piero Cappuccilli seems indisposed, barely making it through “Son pereda”. He is replaced by Carlo Meliciani who does very well.

BONUS:
Carlo Bergonzi sings Verdi arias.
