Description:

Jon Vickers, ever the singular artist, defies easy classification. His vocal approach—some might call it a mannerism—was neither traditionally Verdian nor strictly Wagnerian, but unmistakably Vickersian. Yet, his deep commitment and sheer innaviduality make his interpretation gripping, and his baritonal tenor navigates the role’s tessitura with greater ease than one might expect. John Shaw, as Amonasro, unleashes his gruff baritone to thrilling effect, rounding out a cast that brings both power and personality to this Verdi classic.
