LUCIA DI LAMMERMOOR
--Standard Repertory--

By Gaetano Donizetti
VIDEO: A) Joan Sutherland, Alfredo Kraus,
Pablo Elvira, Bonynge conducting; [English subtitles;
Metropolitan Opera, 1982] PAR 12508 PIO 23117 (LO); solid
presentation, splendid sonics/visuals; some other interpretations
show more imagination (see below) [G.R.]
B) Renata Scotto, Carlo Bergonzi, Zanasi, Bartoletti
conducting; LEGATO LCV 003 [Japanese subtitles, 1967]; far
superior performance to A, but Japanese subtitles and merely
adequate sonics and visuals may limit its appeal (it shouldn't)
[G.R.]
AUDIO: A) EMI: Maria Callas, Giuseppe Di Stefano,
Rolando Panerai, von Karajan conducting; "live" at Berlin, 1955;
heavily cut but a once-in-a-lifetime show; mono [G.R.]
B) DECCA/LONDON: Joan Sutherland, Luciano Pavarotti,
Sherrill Milnes, Bonynge conducting; well- recorded studio effort
with everyone in good voice; literally complete; stereo
[G.R.]
