Title: Great Performance
Review: This version from the film is one of the best of the Otello recordings Del Monaco made. His 1954 studio version, conducted by Erede it`s the best sutdio recording ever! of this Tenor`s "Tour`De Forse" but this one is also great adding the voice of Capecchi to the role of Iago. Carteri`s Desdemona it`s only bested by Tebaldi. Del Monaco sang this role hundreds of times during his almost 40 years career, some say close to 400 times but I don`t think so, but there`s a lot of recordings of his "trade mark" role out there. If you are looking for one of his best`s this one will fill that need. Forget Domingo, Cura and others! You want a Dramatic tenor in this overlly Dramatic Role. Del Monaco is The Otello that Verdi dreamed off!
