Music For The Day

The murder scene from the opera “Otello” by Guiseppe Verdi, sung here by Charles Craig (Otello) and Elena Souliotis (Desdemona) in a 1969 performance recorded in Naples:

 

My favourite opera of all time, and an excellent rendering of the climactic scene from the final act here, as Desdemona pleads for her life in the face of an implacable, enraged, jealous Otello.
