Pros:

  • This recording demonstrates that the mythology surrounding Georg Solti's years at Covent Garden was more than just hype.
  • Mario Del Monaco and Tito Gobbi are perfectly matched as Otello and Iago.
  • Raina Kabaivanska is a radiant and strong-willed Desdemona.
  • Josephine Veasey's Emilia may be one of the finest I have ever heard.
  • The sound is excellent.

Cons:

  • None to mention.
