RECORDING INFORMATION Nilsson sings Verdi - First international release on CD. The outstanding Swedish dramatic soprano in a truly thrilling recital of great moments from Verdi's most determined heroines. Birgit Nilsson was born in Karup, Sweden, in 1918. Her early career was based mainly at the Royal Opera in Stockholm where her repertory included many Italian roles and Verdi's Lady Macbeth was one of the those with which she had early success. Although her enduring reputation rests with her interpretations of the great Wagner roles - Brünnhilde and Isolde, as well as Strauss's Salome and Elektra - all interpretations captured on record by Decca in the legendary recordings made with Solti and the Vienna Philharmonic in the 1960s, this Verdi recital made in 1962 is an excellent reminder of her prowess as a powerful and dramatic Verdi interpreter. This is the first time the entire original recital has appeared on CD as an international release. Classic Recitals - www.deccaclassics.com/classicrecitals Decca's recorded legacy is dominated by the huge number of complete opera recordings and vocal recitals. While a vast number of these recordings have seen CD release in the past 20 years, many of the original LP recitals have been reissued with other material in order to increase the overall playing time due to the longer time available on CD and modern covers have replaced the originals. This new mini-series is unashamedly nostalgic and presents original recitals as they were first published during the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. Original LP cover art is reproduced and the original back of the LP is used as the inside of the digipack. A clear tray is used with a detail from the original LP sleeve as a background, and the back of the digipack gives the tracklist and artist details in a uniform, current style. |
