Irene Minghini Cattaneo - Stride La Vampa, Condotta Ell’era In Ceppi - Il Trovatore - Verdi

Minghini Cattaneo is what a friend of mine once described a “ big hairy chested Mezzo“. A true Mezzo of the old school. I love her. This is what the role of Azucena calls for. I am sure she influenced Cossotto. Minghini Cattaneo ( 1892 - 1944), died in an air raid at her villa in Rimini.
