"It was the everybody's dream to hear Sinopoli conductor Trovatore. It was sad that the recording companies didn't want to record the opera. But now at long last, the world has waited for this day.Yes, a 'live' recording of Trovatore by Sinopoli. The performance is stunning. Sinopoli shows that he was the greatest Verdi conductor in the world before his untimely death conducting Aida at the start of the new millenium.Here we have what Caruso says - the 4 best singers in the world singing Trovatore. Top honours go to Julia Varady with her amazing portrayal of Leonore - one that can stand on level ground with Leontyne Price and Maria Callas. Mezzo Stefania Toczyska is outstanding as the nut-case Azucena. Dennis O'Neill puts Pavarotti to shame and Wolfgang Brendel must be the best Count Luna since Bastianini.Enjoy!!"
