Recensione

The Orchestra and Chorus of the Royal Opera House are intelligently conducted by the great Claudio Abbado in this classic 1975 production directed by Otto Schenk, with traditional costumes and attractive sets. This is one of the finest productions of one of Verdi’s best operas, with outstanding vocal and acting performances –New Classics, May'17

This recording dates from 1975 but I doubt if there are any currently available to match its musical impact and beauty. The production by Otto Schenk may seem dated how often do we get sets and costumes close to those imagined by the composer? but it still works well and if only for Placido Domingo the work is well work adding to your collection. –Lark Reviews, June'17

Claudio Abbado conducts a performance notable for its flexibility, sense of forward movement and keen balance. –Opera, September'17
