Review of G. Verdi : Trovatore-Highlights Recorded in 1931 with the greatest French singers of the day, this is the basic stylistic reference recording for this opera about the Byronic hero who commits suicide on Christmas Eve over his love for a married woman. The title role is sung by Georges Thill, one of France's most charismatic, commanding singers ever, though his labored high notes take some getting used to. In general, this was not an era of especially tidy vocalism. No adjustment is necessary for mezzo-soprano Ninon Vallin (Charlotte), thanks to the warmth of her personality and generous tone. As Sophie, Germaine Feraldy is a treat with her full-bodied coloratura voice and winning sense of style. She's tidy, too.

Your latest reviews - G. Verdi : still the best studio recording of "La Traviata"
Get the full set, because this is simply the best complete studio recording of "La Traviata". The 3 "giants" (Scotto, Kraus, Bruson) all have many years of stage experience in their respective roles and transform the performance into a real theater experience. Kraus and Bruson are excellent as always, and much better than the partners of the younger Scotto on the recording directed by Votto. The recording was made in the late 70's (early 80's ?), so one should be aware of the condition of Scotto's voice at this late stage of her career, but the prima donna's musicality and artistry compensate greatly for any vocal frailty. Forget the "lovely" Cotrubas, Studer, Gheorghiu : Scotto's Violetta is flesh and blood and will really bring tears to your eyes.
