Pros:

I was drawn to this recording because it offered a rare chance to hear Ghena Dimitrova just before she would take the world by storm. And Dimitrova does not disappoint. During her prime her voice seemed to have endless reserves of power with an ease that you don't expect from a singer with a voice her size. Equally impressive was her ability to finesse soft singing, which she does exquisitely during her Act IV aria.
