Reviews
“I urge anyone new to Callas to try to hear this wholly compelling experience, now my preferred choice for this work, to the paler studio version. If you want a better-recorded, stereo version, go for the 1960 set, with Christa Ludwig and Franco Corelli as excellent support. Callas herself, though in frailer voice, has by then added further refinements to her reading” Alan Blyth, Gramophone
