Mario del Monaco is seen here as Canio. His towering vocal attributes are reinforced by his visual performance, which perfectly matches the intensity of his musical interpretation. Above all, his ability to spin out a seemingly endless supply of powerful, rich, solid, and uniquely "pointed" tone is nothing short of thrilling. Beyond the quality of the individual performances one finds something even more precious: an Italian ensemble performing a quintessentially Italian opera in a consistent, integrated, and completely idiomatic musical and dramatic style.
