5.0 out of 5 stars Superb early Verdi, 22 Feb 2004
By Dr. Paul R. Terry (Bedworth, Warwickshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This is the world premiere recording of the original version of this opera, a BBC Radio studio broadcast from 1979. The cast is led by Peter Glossop & Rita Hunter, both excellent. The recording is very good, with first-rate chorus and orchestra. Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Historically fascinating - and an excellent souvenir of some great singers, 31 Mar 2009
By Ralph Moore (Bishop's Stortford, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
If you speak French, I suggest that you disregard M. Declercq's absurd and discourteous rant on Amazon.com; this recording features some of the finest British voices of the 70's and 80's in an enterprising account of the earlier (1847) version of a perennial Verdi favourite. The set has both great artistic and musicological interest and makes a fascinating comparison with the revised 1865 version - the one invariably performed today. Fans of the late Rita Hunter might have fond memories of her stunning performances in Wagnerian roles; she had a voice of formidable size and laser-like penetration and here applies it tellingly to create a truly demonic Lady Macbeth - exactly as Verdi wanted it: "the voice of a she-devil". Peter Glossop, also recently deceased, never had the juiciest Verdi baritone but he used his sizeable voice judiciously and expressively; his breath control rivals that of Cappuccilli and despite a certain dryness of tone really inhabits the character of Macbeth. The supporting cast is strong, especially the under-rated and under-recorded Kenneth Collins, who had a real spinto Verdi tenor; I retain a vivid aural memory of his impressve Manrico in the ENO "Il Trovatore" and here he makes a plangent Macduff. John Matheson's conducting is lean and incisive, the chorus more than adequate.

This is now available on Amazon Marketplace much more reasonably than its original issue price. It makes an excellent supplement to a modern recording of the later version such as that by Abbado with Cappuccilli and Verrett.
