Beverly Sills (Lucia); Alfredo Kraus (Edgardo); Gian-Pero Mastromei (Ashton) & José Nait (Arturo)

Chorus and Orchestra of the Teatro Colón, Juan Emilio Martini

Recorded Buenos Aires, 4/7/1972

"The amazing thing about her Lucia is not so much the way she sings it, though that has moments of incandescent beauty, but the way she manages to make a living, breathing creature of the unhappy girl...[Ms Sills] delivered by far the most believable mad scene I have ever seen in any opera house." Harold C. Schonberg, chief music critic of The New York Times, 1970

Chorus and Orchestra of the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, Tullio Serafin

Recorded 1953

“Today, for a very modest price, all lovers of bel canto operas and their performance on record can listen and make their own judgement on what was, without doubt, a seminal recording of the genre. For me this is Callas’s finest recording in terms of interpretation allied to security of singing and this re-mastering accords it full justice.” MusicWeb International

Vladimir Stoyanov (Enrico), Mariella Devia (Lucia), Giuseppe Sabbatini (Edgardo), Blagoj Nacoski (Arturo),

Carlo Colombara (Raimondo), Damiana Pinti (Alisa) & Enrico Cossutta (Normanno)

Orchestra and Chorus of the Teatro Lirico di Cagliari, Conducted by Gérard Korsten & Directed by Denis Krief

The cast assembled for this live recording at the Teatro Lirico in Cagliari boasts one of the finest foursomes that could ever be found for this type of repertoire: Mariella Devia has been a benchmark Lucia for years and one of the finest bel canto singers to be heard in opera houses today; Giuseppe Sabbatini – who began his splendid career in the role of Edgardo – is a co-star of outstanding vocal and expressive calibre. In the other roles we find the famous bass Carlo Colombara in the role of Raimondo.

Donizetti: Lucia di Lammermoor

Directed for stage by Patrice Caurier & Moshe Leiser


Patrizia Ciofi, Roberto Alagna & Ludovic Tézier

Orchestre et Choeur de l’Opéra National de Lyon, Evelino Pidò

Recorded at the Opéra National de Lyon, January 2002

“Stylishly directed by Patrice Caurier and Moshe Leiser…. The star of the show is in fact Roberto Alagna in splendid voice as Edgard…Patrizia Ciofi is vocally gorgeous and aptly angular as the ill-fated Lucie and Evelino Pidò conducts with real precision and punch.” Classic FM Magazine

“In Donizetti's own adaptation of his own masterpiece into French, Ciofi makes a convincingly deranged heroine. Alagna is on magnificent form and acts with contagious passion.” BBC Music Magazine, February 2008 ****
