Verdi
“Its great glory is the singing of Luciano Pavarotti, his first recording of the role of Radames. The voice is magnificent, and the superstar tenor’s pointing of word-meaning consistently adds illumination, with the character strongly projected… With a strong cast there is much to enjoy besides Pavarotti. Maria Chiara uses her lovely soprano with fine feeling for Verdian line… the recording…is full and brilliant in the Decca manner, the best sound accorded to any recent digital set.”
