About
Recorded shortly after he had first conquered the most challenging of all Italian tenor roles, this 1977 RCA set preserves Plácido Domingo’s youthfully heroic Otello, lovingly lyrical and terrifyingly homicidal by turns, alongside Renata Scotto’s deeply felt Desdemona and Sherrill Milnes’s unusually virile Iago, all superbly conducted by James Levine.
