This performance of Oct 28, 1957 is not 100% complete and is not top level sounding.
But
Anita's singing is absolutely THRILLING...
This Trovatore is one of the very best of all Cerquetti's recordings and no
one who hears her " tacea la notte " will ever encounter that quality
and homogeneity of velvet timbre with that fascinating contrast control.
