4.0 out of 5 stars Estimable Di Stefano, 16 Dec 2001
By A Customer
The main contents of this CD come from a Deutsche Gramophon recital Di Stefano recorded in 1963. His voice by this time showed the wear from too much "open" singing in a strenuous repertoire, as well as from a high lifestyle he couldn't give up because, it was said, he loved it more than singing.
On the whole, the verismo numbers come off better than the Verdi, because his phrasing was, by then, somewhat impaired and the voice darkened and comparatively unresponsive,
Even so, his gifts for passionate communication and vocal coloration are manifestly present. Skip the "Celeste Aida" and listen to the sadness in the Luisa Miller aria, the dignity of the Otello excerpts, the desperation in the Girl of the Golden West Aria, and resignation of the Mefistofele piece. Quintessential Di Stefano is in the little known Calzare D'argento aria: passion, wonder, and even at this stage, a very beautiful voice.
The Italian Songs derive from a recording for Decca in the late 1950s. His voice is fresher, more lyrical. The arrangements are Mantovani-ish, but are easy to listen to. I prefer Di Stefano's Decca song recordings to his EMI because the voice is recorded with more space around it. All of Di Stefano's gifts are on display in these cuts.
This disc is well worth acquiring. The informed listener will get a lot of pleasure from it.
