DONIZETTI: L'ELISIR D'AMORE

This is an opera of youth and here are a soprano and tenor with quite exceptionally firm, sweet, pure and youthful voices. Mirella Freni (Adina), was then a t her lyrical best and over long years there may have not been a more radiant soprano with crystal-clear purity. Tenor Nicolai Gedda (Nemorino), leaves a valid memory for many reasons and again his voice was exceptionally pure and sweet. 2CD.1CDROM.
