Recorded here on its revival a year later, Pelléas was conducted by Vittorio Gui, 78 in 1963, whose connection with the Glyndebourne company extended back to 1948.

Hilde Rössl-Majdan is a splendid Marcellina and Murray Dickie is a more heroic Don Basilio than most. This Scottish-born tenor is probably best known for singing the tenor part in Das Lied von der Erde under Paul Kletzki with Fischer-Dieskau taking the baritone part. Hugues Cuénod on Vittorio Gui’s almost contemporaneous recording is even more oily but Dickie’s is a refreshing reading. Hugo Meyer-Welfing, who used to sing Don Ottavio and Hoffmann, is luxury casting for Don Curzio and Anny Felbermayer is a pretty Barbarina.Alfred Poell’s Almaviva apart – and others may well like him better than I do – this old warhorse still holds its own against the keen competition. Readers who want to botanise among other vintage recordings of Figaro should […]
