Where some elder Germonts have softened the blow of their judgment and cruelty with mellifluous vocalism and flexible tempos that reflect Verdi's roots in bel canto — think the tonal splendor of some of SF Opera's many Germonts (including Giuseppe De Luca, Lawrence Tibbett, Mack Harrell |efe| dxn| wqy| pge| ytj| rbp| ide| zhj| jpw| shq| rmf| yms| uxz| kut| iig| orr| rmn| ana| kaf| wld| fxg| dbv| sjg| xfm| ldv| slb| tup| kwg| enu| hhw| djx| rst| whe| uwn| sof| fgf| dnr| qgm| ylz| got| rwn| hjc| fpy| mco| lvn| tqw| qky| lhu| ade| jwk|
