Ivan the Terrible
It's likely that Rimsky-Korsakov's Ivan the Terrible was chosen as a showcase for Boris Christoff. His rich, dark bass dominates the opera, and he delivers the role with impeccable Italian diction while capturing the distinctly Russian flavor of the work. He is supported by a superb ensemble of Italian singers, with Thomas Schippers leading the performance from the podium.

Sales etc excellent. I do think that on the main site there should be perhaps a star system about the actual recording quality. I have just received an excellent Leoncavallo Edipo, but an unlistenable Nabucco - fine for someone who really wants this recording but still poor - lots of noise as well. Just a thought.
