Lucia di Lammermoor (Decca London; 3 discs)
Featuring Joan Sutherland, Luciano Pavarotti, Sherrill Milnes, and Nicolai Ghiaurov
Orchestra and Chorus of the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden
Conducted by Richard Bonynge
Probably the BEST recording of Lucia out there. This was Joan Sutherland’s second recording of "Lucia", done in 1971, so she is comfortable with the role and vocally brilliant. The rest of the cast is great but Sutherland is "La Stupenda". I would recommend this for any fan of Sutherland, or the opera itself. One of the best recordings of one of the masterpieces in opera.
