Donizetti Sutherland, Cioni, Merrill, Siepi - Lucia Di Lammermoor
Review by Khaled Rayyan
Lucia Di Lammermoor is a classic opera by Donizetti, featuring a talented cast of Sutherland, Cioni, Merrill, and Siepi. The album captures the essence of the opera, with its stunning melodies, rich orchestration, and powerful vocals.
Sutherland's performance as Lucia is exceptional, with her voice soaring effortlessly through the intricate vocal lines. Cioni's portrayal of Edgardo is equally impressive, with his emotive voice conveying the character's passion and intensity.
Merrill and Siepi add depth to the production with their strong baritone voices, providing a perfect counterbalance to the high-pitched vocals of Sutherland and Cioni.
The album is beautifully recorded, with each instrument and voice clearly captured in the mix. The orchestra, conducted by Tullio Serafin, delivers a flawless performance, providing a lush and dynamic backdrop to the vocal performances.

Joan owned this and still does. No soprano can touch her interpretation

Peerless.

The incomparable Joan Sutherland.
2023-04-08
These 1960's recordings that Decca made at the Sala Santa Cecilia in Rome are the finest engineered ever, far, far superior to modern efforts that spotlight the voices in an artificial way.
2023-04-08
In alto, sempre più in alto, verso l'eliso! Grazie Dame Joan, Stupenda incarnazione della divina idea della bellezza incarnatasi nella tua voce per donarci istanti di eterna estasi!
2023-04-08
Nobody will ever sing this role like Joan.
