Title: At last a new recording
Review: If you are a Menotti basher no need to read further.Menotti's grandest opera not to be missed. 2 hours of rich arias and scoring. Moving story that holds up with time.Awarded the Pulitzer Price for music, it was first performed in Dec. 1954.The cast of this recording is mostly outstanding but some cast members of the original 1955 recording (RCA no longer available)seem better. (David Poleri as Michele and Leon Lishner as Don Marco for ex.)The Orchestra for this new recording is as good as the one lead by Thomas Schippers for the earlier recording but the sound of the new recording is much better.If you like The Counsel and Amahl and the Night Visitors give this work a try. In my belief this is Menotti's best operaRichard Wagner
