¡Qué bueno! Me encanta Lucía, y sobre todo como la canta Callas. ¡Qué grande! Una maestra.

Pocas personas están enteradas que el Raimondo de esta versión, lo interpreta Roberto Silva, hermano de David Silva, gran actor Mexicano. Uno de los más grandes bajos mexicanos.

chi è il basso ? uno spettacolo..

First the tempo is too fast. Also the whole thing is very messyand badly balanced, orchestra, chorus etc except for Maria's voice which reigns supreme and shines through over all the others. The best Lucia Sextet is the Berlin 1955 with Karajan where they did an encore after ecstatic applause and demands by the audience.

--But of course, Master, there is only one successful performance of this sextet and only one person astute enough to, know which one it is. Now forgive me but I want to listen again to this excellent performance above...

Orchestra e direttore da Codice Penale. Campolonghi inutilmente infoiato. Povera Maria…
