Benjamino Gigli - Arien Und Duette Aus Lucia Di Lammermoor

Review by Jim Payne

Benjamino Gigli's album "Arien Und Duette Aus Lucia Di Lammermoor" is a beautiful collection of operatic pieces that showcase the Italian tenor's vocal prowess. The album features a range of arias and duets from Gaetano Donizetti's classic opera "Lucia di Lammermoor", including the famous "Chi mi frena in tal momento" and "Tu che a Dio spiegasti l'ali".

Gigli's voice is rich and emotive, conveying the passion and drama of the opera's tragic story. His performances are accompanied by the Orchestra del Teatro alla Scala, conducted by Carlo Sabajno, who provide a lush and dynamic backdrop to Gigli's vocals.

The album is a must-have for fans of Italian opera, and showcases Gigli's talent as one of the greatest tenors of the 20th century. His interpretations of the arias and duets are both powerful and nuanced, making for a captivating listening experience.
