0159-3 ANNA BOLENA

Souliotis is in far better voice than in her studio Decca recording,daring more,and acheiving more,Horne is at her best as Seymour,and Baker(in a rare operatic outing in the States)is very good as Smeaton,Domingo,also in a rare Bel Canto outing sings gloriously,although without the great ease that the role of Percy requires on high(and it is VERY HIGH!)But he does an excellent job.Carlo Cava is a good Henry,and Henry Lewis(then Hornes Husband)conducts to the manner born.
