About
More bel canto artistry can be heard in the live 1985 recording of Rossini’s wonderfully lyrical opera Tancredi from La Fenice in Venice, starring Marilyn Horne in the title role and soprano Lella Cuberli. Wrote Penguin Guide: “The purity and beauty of [Cuberli’s] tone, coupled with immaculate coloratura make it a memorable performance … Horne gives a formidable perfor-mance in the breeches role of Tancredi … Ernest Palacio is an accomplished Rossini tenor, agile in the role of Argirio.”
