CATERINA CORNARO, Donizetti + HD audio - Caballe, Aragall, Meloni, Edwards - Paris, 1973 CD.

[@johnbatzel7946]

For several decades, Aragall sang in Vienna at the Staatsoper but he would also appear at times in its sister house, the Volksoper. Over the years, I heard him many, many times, in both venues and always with delight. I remember one performance of "Lucia" at the Volksoper in the Spring of 1972, when the audience went wild. I left the Theatre after the 20th curtain call (recorded that night in my journal), leaving behind at least half the audience which continued to cheer its beloved Catalan!

Caballé reigns as Caterina and Aragall is sublime too in this great Donizetti !

Un des sommets absolus de Caballé. Inapprochable. Une part d'éternité.

[@gustavsantdoable]

Maravillosa Ópera, sobretodo los dúos de soprano y tenor interpretados de forma magistral por Caballe y Aragall. Bravo Donizetti, Caballe y Aragall!!!!

[@joan-otserraperajuan8168]

La voz de Caballé i Aragall son insuperables

[@enthusedtosing9655]

Of unattainable perfection

[@TassiloDavid]

Donizetti at the height of his powers!

[@enthusedtosing9655]

This is supposed to be his last finished opera AFAIK

[@lorenzomoog1205]

And yet this opera was deemed a failure at the prima in Napoli; Mercadante conducted. As a result Donizetti washed his hands of Napoli & severed all connections with that city.
