Get it if you love great singing... not if you want great re

"There isn't a great deal to say, only that you should get this if you want to hear great singing from three great artists in thier prime, particularly Caballe, but dont get it if you want high quality technical standards for the recording. This is live and is rough as guts. There is huge applause and a couple of little hicups musically (as is expected with a live performance).



La Scala produced some of the most amazing performances during this period and this is one of them, its just a shame they didn't have the recording techniques we have now. Luisa Miller is a great opera, if it weren't for such works as Rigoletto, La Traviata, Otello, Falstaff etc. etc. this would be better know and more highly praised.



I still recommend this set, even with its flaws, as it is some of the most glorious singing I have heard in a long time."
