Jon Vickers - one of the great Otellos of the 20th century - brings his remarkable vocal power and dramatic intensity to Verdi's masterful Shakespeare adaptation. His Desdemona is Renata Scotto, at the height of her powers, and Cornell MacNeil's menacing lago is one of the baritone's greatest roles.
