Il Trovatore (Aureliano Pertile; Maria Carena; Apollo Granforte; Orchestra Teatro alla Scala, Milan; Carlo Sabajno)

Album Notes & Community Reviews

Featuring the legendary tenor Aureliano Pertile, this complete recording captures the visceral excitement and immense vocal power expected of the Italian operatic tradition. The La Scala forces deliver the composer's famously propulsive rhythms and blood-and-thunder melodrama with thrilling, uninhibited commitment. The release preserves the fierce, unyielding intensity of pre-war operatic staging.
