Here is a live performance from Moscow, with the La Scala forces, taped in 1964. Gabriella Tucci, a fine singer who was only lacking the individual timbre needed for stardom, is an excellent Leonora, and Carlo Bergonzi is among the most elegant and stirring Manricos on disc. Giulietta Simionato, nearing the end of her career, sings with great passion as the crazy Azucena, and Piero Cappuccilli delivers a big Count de Luna. Gianandrea Gavazzeni, an old hand obviously trying to impress those cold-war Russkies, pulls out all the stops, along with his cast. This one is near the top of the list. –Robert Levine
