This complete recording, despite the “Sleale!” cut and others, I claim is still one of the best, if not the best, in the catalog. And maybe I should have made this performance my choice (I was so torn!), but his “Vi ravviso” from La sonnambula is heart-droppingly gorgeous.
A favorite bass performance from La Grunowa
Tancredi Pasero is so noble in mien and rich-voiced here, a perfect complement to Caniglia’s earthy Leonora who honestly charts the movement from despair to fervent, transcendent faith in this duet.
