Title: Wonderful Document of Otello
Review: This truly is one of the great documents of Otello available. Vickers is amazing in the title role, creating many moments that are literally hair-raising. Freni is a godess like Desdemona and the less melodramatic yet beleivably everybodys friend reading of Iago by Glossop allows him to become much more frightening in the long run - in this way it is surprisingly similar to Kenneth Branagh's interpretation on film.There are moments that do seem more stage-like that film-like, yet one is drawn into the experience so easily it is easy to forget such trivial matters.By the way, watch out for a special cameo appearance which happens twice in Iago's drinking song!
