A recording worthy of both Verdi and Shakespeare.
This studio recording was made late in 1958 prior to the debut of the new production of Macbeth by the Metropolitan Opera in February 1959. The same principals are in this recording as in the Met production, including the conductor, orchestra, and chorus. Leonard Warren was outstanding as Macbeth, imbuing every word and note with its proper meaning, color and dynamic. Jerome Hines brought his dark basso Banquo. Carlo Bergonzi was a fresh voiced Italianate Macduff. Leonie Rysanek had both the dramatic intensity and coloratura necessary for Lady Macbeth. While maybe lacking a bit of the immediacy of the February 1959 Met historic broadcast recently presented on Sirius Met Opera Radio, this is a compelling recording, doing justice both to Verdi and Shakespeare. Highly recommended! The 2 CD set was just as described in the listing, “Very good”. The seller packaged the set well and shipped promptly.
