0396-3 DON CARLO

In house recording in good sound. Voices are mid-distant. Dimitrova is a surprisingly nuanced Elisabetta, powerful when needed but capable of legato and pianissimi also. Her talents as a Verdian stylist always seemed to me underrated. Toczyska ia a rather bright-sounding Eboli in superlative voice. Bruson offers a burnished Posa and Moldoveanu is also good as Don Carlo. Christoff takes some getting used to--his is not a naturally Italianate voice, but he uses it authoritatively. This is the four act version.
