Title: Verdi Needs A Real Musician
Review: Birgit Nilsson, as wonderful as she is...was not suited to Verdi, especially to Abigaille and Lady Macbeth.-her Italian is bad (the vowels) and she seems to have no idea what she is saying-she is devoid of a good coloratura technique-she sings off pitch in a couple of the Macbeth arias-she should've just cut the cabaletta to 'Anch'io dischiuso un giorno'...she slides up and down the scale like an overweight person wearing spandex on a wet slideShe is fabulous in Puccini and Wagner...where all she has to do is sing...and not think about being a musician.AND what horrible conducting and loud brass! Verdi on steroids.
