Description
The 3-LP vinyl box set of Giuseppe Verdi's opera, "Macbeth," released by Decca Records in 1964. This recording, catalogued as SET 282-4 (Stereo) or MET 282-4 (Mono), features the Chorus and Orchestra of the Accademia di Santa Cecilia, Rome.
Performance Details
The recording is conducted by Thomas Schippers, who also revised the 1865 version of the score for this performance.
• Macbeth: Giuseppe Taddei (Baritone)
• Lady Macbeth: Birgit Nilsson (Soprano)
• Macduff: Bruno Prevedi (Tenor)
• Banquo: Giovanni Foiani (Bass)
Recording Characteristics
Made in June and July 1964, the recording is known for its expansive and spacious sound field, following a major renovation of the concert hall at the Conservatorio di Santa Cecilia. While highly regarded for the vocal performances, it is also noted for substantial cuts made by Schippers to the witches' scenes and the final battle to create a tauter drama.
