Donizetti - Don Pasquale

Juan Diego Florez, Ruggero Raimondi

Decca, 2007

Molto Bene!
Donizetti created this masterpiece knowing that it required an outstnding cast, and here indeed it has just that. Having grown up with my ears seduced by the velvet of Tito Schipa I expected Flores might be a come down--- I should have know better! This is not just a ...
