The 2018 Macbeth is so overrated
I don’t know if it’s overrated because I don’t think anyone rates it, but for pure party disc joy not much beats this 2018 recording of the original 1847 version of Verdi‘s Macbeth.
A tasteful period instrument orchestra and tasteful period singers provide a black velvet background for the dogs-playing-poker voice of Nadja Michael, whose microtonal assumption of Lady Macbeth truly must be heard to be appreciated. There are Florence Foster Jenkinses everywhere for those with ears to hear.
