The opera Faust is largely regarded as 19th century French composer Charles Gounod's masterwork. This release from Hardy Classic Video features a 1987 performance of the work at Italy's world-famous opera house Teatro Regio Parma. The show's cast includes Ana Maria Gonzalez as Margherita, Alfredo Kraus as Il Dottor Faust, and Nicola Ghiuselev as Mefistofele.
A Collector's Choice Alfredo Kraus in the title role is amazing at the age of sixty. Though the video quality is not what we are now used to (it was taped in 1987) the sound is the best for that decade, and the final trio is exceptional. By robert_hensley (Robert Hensley, Knoxville, TN, USA)
