Giuseppe Verdi - Drei Duette aus Aida

Review by Mary L Galea, LLC

Giuseppe Verdi's album "Drei Duette aus Aida" is a magnificent collection of operatic duets that showcase the composer's mastery of the art form. The album features three duets from Verdi's iconic opera Aida, performed by some of the most talented singers of our time.

The first duet, "Fu la sorte dell'armi" is a powerful and emotional piece that highlights the conflict between the two male leads, Radames and Amonasro. The second duet, "Pur ti riveggo, mia dolce Aida" is a tender and romantic piece that features the reunion of Radames and Aida. The third and final duet, "O terra, addio" is a heartbreaking farewell between Aida and Radames, as they prepare to face their tragic fate.

The singers on this album, including Plácido Domingo, Leontyne Price, and Carlo Bergonzi, deliver stunning performances that capture the depth and complexity of Verdi's music. The orchestra, under the direction of James Levine, provides a rich and vibrant accompaniment that perfectly complements the singers.
