Berlioz / Rankin / La Scala Theatre Orchestra- I Troiani (CD)
The principal champion pre-Colin Davis of Hector Berlioz's neglected 19th c. masterpiece Les Troyens was Rafael KubelÃk. This Milan 1960 recording - now back in the catalog - is a remarkable sound document. The sound is basic; there are cuts; and it's in Italian rather than the original French. But it also makes for electrifying listening. KubelÃk conducts with intensity and dignity. Featuring a cast that includes Mario Del Monaco, Giulietta Simionato and the under-represented on disc Nell Rankin, it's essential listening for anyone with an interest in Berlioz. - The Guardian, 2012.
Tracklist:
- I Troiani - Various Performers
- Aida (Excerpts)
- Otello (Excerpts)
- Manon Lescaut (Excerpts)
- Carmen (Excerpts)
- L'africaine (Excerpts)
- Lohengrin (Excerpts)
