Review title: Otello / Verdi, Domingo, Studer, Leiferkus, Vargas, D. Graves, Schade, D'Arcangelo, Chung
Product review: Otello / Verdi, Domingo, Studer, Leiferkus, Vargas, D. Graves, Schade, D'Arcangelo, Chung is a recording under the direction of Myung-Whun Chung who leads Orchestre et Choeurs de l'Opera Bastille on this Deutsche Grammophon recording from 1994. If one compares this with Von Karajan's recording with EMI from 1974 it is quite apparent that the one with Von Karajan is superior. The sound quality is a little better being that it is a Deutsche Grammophon recording. Domingo is amazing in his role as Otello. James A. Hepokoski's essay "'Otello' as Dramma Lirico" is a very well-written essay. Kenneth Chalmers has written the synopsis. The lyrics are available in English, French, German and Italian. It also contains photographs from the time of the recording. Recommended. 4/5.
