Description:

Magda Olivero is riveting as Medea, fusing searing emotional intensity with an unerring sense of style. She captures the role’s moral complexity with devastating clarity, shifting between fury, vulnerability, and icy resolve. Bruno Prevedi, despite his naturally sweet tenor, finds a chilling edge as Giasone, his portrayal stripped of sentiment and full of calculated detachment. Adriana Maliponte makes a striking impression as Glauce—her radiant tone and youthful exuberance in the opening aria offer a vital contrast to Olivero’s unraveling Medea. The sound is generally solid, though there are a few brief dropouts.
