Title: cannot compete with Price/Corelli
Review: The 1962 live Price/Corelli set also with Karajan is the finest Trovatore out there.Leontyne Price in 1962 had a glorious voice that had a throbbing vibrato that matches Corelli's. Both were power singers and the most thrilling Leonora/Manrico imaginable.Callas cannot touch Price. She simple is not comfortable at the flowing vocal lines or the high D flat in Leonora's great aria "D'amor sul ali rosee". The Callas set is a huge disappointment for me.Trust me, the Price/Corelli set is the definitive Trovatore.Callas might have the ability to do justice to Leonora in 1949, but not here.
