Since this seems to be the year for La Donna del Lago, one of my favorite
Rossini operas, I thought I would upload this in-house recording of what was the
first of a series of three Rossini operas done in concert at Carnegie Hall, all
featuring Marilyn Horne. This is close to the same cast as the Houston
performance the previous year which has long been available on Ponto, but it
features a different bass and, most importantly, a different conductor. I find
this, all in all, a much more exciting performance than the one from Houston.
(and perhaps it will be a new treat for Michael?)
