Pros:

  • In her biography, Montserrat Caballé singles out this performance as one of the most consequential of her career, setting her on a meteoric path towards super-stardom. This recording proves that her assessment was not hyperbole. She commands the stage, delivering every possible nuance and vocal color one could ever imagine from the human voice.
  • Under normal circumstances, Alain Vanzo, as Gennaro, and Kostas Paskalis, as Don Alfonso, would have stood out for the very capable singing, but standing next to Caballé, they are eclipsed.

Cons:

  • None to mention
