Why the original video tapes have never been remastered and this performance released on DVD is one of the ongoing mysteries of the recording business. Verrett and Abbado alone would justify the release but Cappuccilli is in fine voice and involved. A fabulous performance.

I think it was interesting to read once in an interview of Dolora Zajic that she would never sing again this role, as strong as she is yet. This means that it's a killer role, demanding more than a mezzo to sustain most of all the grand ensembles, and the sleepwalking tessitura in general.

Well actually, if you want to be technical...she sang mezzo soprano... but she wasn’t mezzo soprano. She herself has said in interviews that she was trained as a soprano. She’s very secure in soprano tessitura because she’s a dramatic soprano.

Does anybody share my impression on the music? Shirley is of course great, the best lady after Gencer and Dimitrova.

True, the great Leontyne never sang the entire role of Lady Macbeth. Nevertheless, her singing of La Luce Langue is matchless in beauty, humanity, and power. She reigns supreme in this aria as in others by Verdi which she never sang as complete portrayals on stage. I would rather hear Leontyne sing this single aria than any other soprano singing the entire role. To paraphrase Marcia Davenport: Leontyne has something all the other sopranos had, and she has something that none of them had. She is in a class by herself alone, unique and totally without peer in the annals of music. No one compares to her, no one.
