What have you been listening to, lately?

Thanks to a youtuber who may be more Nat obsessed than me, I was able to watch a never-released, video-taped from tv version of Lucia from 2008 in San Francisco. Really interesting contrast from the 2007 / 2011 Met production, completely different interpretation of the character by Ms. Dessay and has perhaps my favorite Spargi d'Amaro Pianto of hers.

Link?

After so many comments Aramis made about it, I've finally seen the Damrau-Flórez-DiDonato Comte Ory.

I've watched it twice. Consecutively.

Does Cossotto spoil the party.........people say Pavarotti is great here
I have been watching this for purchase but am concerned by negative comments on Cossotto

[Schigolch]

Both Pavarotti and Cossotto are below what reasonably could be expected here.

To listen to a good Cossotto in the role, this is a much better choice, a live recording from Buenos Aires, in 1967:

I have purchased all 5-6 of these lesser known Verdi early operas in the Gardelli/Phillips series, recorded in 1970s with best singers in the business..........I don't know why I waited so long these are great!

Deluxe digibook 2CD set, 150 pages with cool old photos plus artwork of her Decca albums, 29 tracks total mostly from 1960s glory days............a great collection!
