Mascagni/ Leoncavallo/ Rysanek/ Varnay/ Santi - Cavalleria Rusticana Pagliacci

ORFEO's live recording on CD documents opening night at the Munich National Theatre on Christmas Day 1978, with Mascagni's "Cavalleria rusticana" and Leoncavallo's "Pagliacci," which one again allows listeners to share in the excitement of the occasion. Leonie Rysanek and Placido Domingo truly shine on this recording.
