Although the later cast – conducted by Richard Bonynge – was starrier with Pavarotti taking the role of the Duke, this earlier version is still favoured by Sutherland aficionados. ‘Sutherland is extraordinary’ wrote an Amazon customer. ‘The voice is full, clear, floating, amazing. Her portion of the first Rigoletto\/Gilda duet is a case in point. The high tessitura of Gilda’s part are breathtakingly beautiful and touching in themselves. Her ‘Caro nome’ is supreme and unique among her versions, includes an amazing trill on high D flat major in place of the staccato reiterations usually heard. Her characterisation is well thought out and clearly projected. This is some of her best work on records.’\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0067\/4660\/3571\/files\/TRACK_LISTING_WITH_WORLD_1_4b3088c9-df3c-47ba-bf41-5b7e5d1a8144_480x480.png?v=1597936873\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGIUSEPPE VERDI\u003cbr\u003eRigoletto (highlights)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQuesta o quella Duke\u003cbr\u003ePari siamo… Ah deh non parlare al misero Rigoletto\u003cbr\u003eGualtrier malde… Caro nome Gilda\u003cbr\u003ePovero Rigoletto!… Cortigiani, vil razza dannata Rigoletto\u003cbr\u003eTutte le feste… Ah, solo per me Gilda, Rigoletto\u003cbr\u003eLa donna e mobile Duke\u003cbr\u003eBella figlia dell’amore Rigoletto, Gilda, Duke, Maddalena\u003cbr\u003eLassu… in cielo Gilda\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRenato Cioni\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCornell MacNeil\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJoan Sutherland\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCesare Siepi\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStefanie Malagu\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnna di Stasio\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGiuseppe Morresi\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFernando Corena\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGiulio Corti\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLuisa Valle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSt Cecilia Academy Chorus \u0026amp; Orchestra\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNino Sanzogno\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DECCA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32340430028887,"sku":"028945018720","price":5.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0067\/4660\/3571\/products\/0028945018720_EB-VERDI-RIGOLET-SUTH_SANZ-1024x1024.jpg?v=1600472029","url":"https:\/\/classicselectworld.com\/en-de\/products\/verdi-rigoletto-highlights-sutherland-mcneil-cioni-sanzogno-orchdellac","provider":"ClassicSelect World","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
