Lucia di Lammermoor survey

Posted by Michel Marleau on February 12, 2026, 4:28 pm

I have enjoyed reading the survey of Lucia di Lammermoor being one of my favorite operas. I have listened to most available studio recordings and my favorite are Sutherland (Decca, 1961) and Moffo (RCA, 1965), the former dreamy and melancholic and the latter so romantic and touching

I'm glad you enjoyed it; I found re-encountering the Moffo recording in particular a pleasant experience.

Anna Moffo's recording was rated very highly (second only to Callas' first recording) in a recent BBC Building a Library.
