 | | You would have quite hard a time then trying to find a tenor better suited than Franco Corelli to sing the part of Manrico, la Simionato would spring to anyone's mind as the logical choice for Azucena, and Bastianini sung the Count so well he could hardly be surpassed, even by Gobbi. |
 | | K sets a slow, weary movement to the initial arioso for Azucena, which Simionato handles with a dark, mournful colour and seemingly endless supplies of breath. |
 | | Then K goes as fast as the wind into the stretta, and old Giulietta digs into it like a starved greyhound, taking, but of course, all the high options. |
