Awards and reviews
2010 edition
The combination of Karajan and Callas is formidably impressive. There is toughness and dramatic determination in Callas's singing...Barbieri is a magnificent Azucena, Panerai is a strong, incisive Count, and di Stefano is at his finest as Manrico...the 1956 mono sound, now greatly improved is one of the more vivid from La Scala at that period
