Description:

This performance of Lucia di Lammermoor stands out primarily for the fact that it features the superb José Carreras as Edgardo. In the mid-1970s, his voice was unmatched in its combination of beauty and virility, making his portrayal truly exceptional.

He is joined by Cristina Deutekom, who possessed one of the rarest vocal instruments: a true dramatic coloratura. It is a rare treat to hear a Lucia who can deliver such power and passion (slancio) while effortlessly navigating the role’s treacherous vocal demands. The sound quality is very good.
