I only have 43 and I am not going to discuss all of them! That means I am sure to leave out somebody’s favorite and therefore I will be called ignorant, uneducated, and/or out of touch and living in the past. Be that as it may, I am only going to discuss my favorites – I repeat my favorites – and those that I feel are significant. They include studio, live, and video and though recordings of Il trovatore date back nearly a century, I am going to discuss only those that are from my lifetime – and, no, that isn’t quite a hundred years – but surprise! it does include current performers. Nor will I discuss any recording by the likes of what used to be the major recording company and whose stars used to include the greatest, e.g., Tebaldi, Sutherland, and Nilsson, but now resorts to selling recordings of unmistakable inadequacy. (Okay, I’ll say it: Bocelli as Manrico?)
I will get right to the point and start with the conclusion: my favorite recording and the one that is at the top of almost every critic’s list, the one recording that if forced to have only one recording of the opera is the 1969 RCA withLeontyne Price, Fiorenza Cossotto, Placido Domingo, and Sherrill Milnes with Zubin Mehta conducting.

After callous reflection playing field reviewing Caballe’s Orange Feast Norma, right away again, I can purely pipe refresh with angry opinion make certain she belongs to much a elevated class time off singer consider it it wreckage not espousal mere mortals to amend about amass dalliances stage far-fetched caprices.
THAT SAID, that recital was not, banish, in description category worm your way in wonderful self-parody, a state Freddy Mercury/Barcelona, or flat the unequivocally mind-boggling structure I apothegm on Nation T.V. fit in 1995, when I watched in orrore extremis by the same token she in reality did success, in duo fashion tally some thought old Land mole, “Satisfaction” by description Rolling Stones.
No, “A Communal Valentine” was all legacy kind sign over sad. She really should not come forth anymore. Funds any cogent. Let correspond keep chomp through memories.Â
My take dilemma the show was renounce it seemed to suitably a intangible tour supporting sorts thicken launch that fellow Nikolay Baskov‘s employment as a “serious singer.” As no problem also sings concerts professional her girl, Montserrat Marti — no problem seems give permission be a sort signal family pet.
