Nothing makes me feel better than the Von Karajan Trovatore

For me, one of the greatest recordings is the Von Karajan Il trovatore. You have four incredible singers in their top form.

 

I’ve always loved Price in this role she’s lush, dramatic and just gorgeous my favorite Leonora. Corelli is just thrilling. And ever since I heard Bastianini in the La traviata with Callas, I’ve always had a great admiration for him I find his voice very beautiful. And what can one say about Simionato? As Azucena, she is one of the best. And Von Karajan’s conducting is magnificent. For me one of my top recordings.
