Original Air Date: 03/18/1978
Caldwell; Pavarotti, Blegen, Corena, Sereni
SID.19280213
My memory of Caldwell’s conducting (her Met farewell) is not so positive; this is the second of three Blegen/Pavarotti Elisirs. For me Sereni and Corena, especially Corena have never been replaced in these roles. Corena’s near monopoly of Dr. Dulcamara is totally deserved. It is just a shame that there are not more video representations of his very considerable art. A particular word of praise for Sereni, whose recent passing reminds us of what a reliable artist he was. The best Elisir for my money is the all Italian one from 1972 with Scotto, Bergonzi, Sereni, and Corena (on MOoD); there is an earlier broadcast (1966) which is on MOoD and Sony CD which substitutes Peters and Guarrera under Schippers for Scotto and Sereni. MOoD covers all this ground plus a fine broadcast with Peters and Kraus from 1968 with again Sereni and Corena.
