Verdi: Aida [New York -- February 23, 1957; Antonietta Stella, Blanche Thebom, Kurt Baum, George London, Giorgio Tozzi, Louis Sgarro, James McCracken; Fausto Cleva]
On Myto 00126; 2 CD's; A classic performance with the young Antonietta Stella, the veteran Kurt Baum, as well as Blanche Thebom, George London, Giorgio Tozzi and, as the Messenger, a youthful James McCracken. All are in fine voice, and the highly underrated Baum is quite enjoyable. Were he singing today, he would be one of the most valued tenors around. And, James McCracken's distinctive sound makes the Messenger into far more than a comprimario role. Fausto Cleva conducts!!
