Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

This is Pl´cido Domingo's third recording of Otello and arguably his best. Besides benefiting from years of study and restudy, the older, rougher, darker Domingo voice is better suited to the role than his prettier, younger self. Also, the title character's rage always seemed a bit forced in previous recordings; not so here. His colleagues aren't always at peak level of inspiration but they're consistently excellent. Sergei Leiferkus's metallic, Russian sound is ideal for Iago; besides being sinister, he sounds like an outsider. Conductor Myung-Whun Chung is anything but a routinist, particularly with the Bastille forces that he worked with intensity for years. This is a fine modern recording of a great opera. --David Patrick Stearns

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Performance., 20 April 2001

By A Customer

Domingo has made three recordings of this opera and the latest is clearly the best. Domingo brings years of experience in the title role to this recording and his performance is mesmerising. Domingo's voice is not as trumpet-like as once it was, but his darker, more burnished tone suits his more introspective reading given here - listen to "Dio mi potevi" where Domingo brings out the internal pain of the character with great intensity. Throughout, Domingo provides a heartfelt and superbly "acted" account. The rest of the cast are also far better here than on Domingo's previous recordings. Sergei Leiferkus is one of the few baritones around who can capture all of Iago's nuances in a studio recording- his credo is superb and sparks fly in his scenes with Domingo. Cheryl Studer sings radiantly as Desdemona and gives a rounded portrayal. Chung conducts a searing account of the score. Domingo sings well on his two other recordings of Otello, but his fellow singers are not at their best in those. Try Domingo in the Zeffirelli film of the opera or the video of his performance under Solti at Covent Garden - both are memorable performances. If you want something more vintage try Vickers and Gobbi under Serafin, where the cast and the conductor are all at the height of their powers.
