Awards and reviews

2010 edition

Few singers on disc can match Eleanor Steber as Violetta...The beauty and precision as well as the power of Steber's singing are phenomenal...the emotional thrust of the drama comes over at full force, with Giuseppe Antonicelli drawing playing and singing from his Met. forces to match even a Toscanini. Limited radio sound clearly transferred.
