Plácido Domingo, as we know, has the power of voice, the strength of intensity and the physical presence to make a living figure of Stiffelio. Close-ups provided by the camera enable the viewer to see the anger, not only in his face but in his eyes. Vocally, he is in excellent condition, with the baritonal edge in his timbre to enforce Stiffelio's responses. Equally steadfast is the Stankar of Vladimir Chernov, who makes his recitative, aria and cabaletta . . . one of the most exciting and dramatic solos in opera . . . Chernov's sonorous voice rings freely, with a terrific top, and is well focused. With Domingo and Chernov on hand, one feels cheated that Verdi did not write a big duet for Stiffelio and Stankar.
