2010 edition
It is an electrifying performance, with Serafin at his most magnetic leading an outstanding cast of principals, all with voices firm and true. Heralded by trumpets that vividly leap out of the speakers, Gigli launches into Celeste Aida at the start with a clarity and bravura that marks this whole performance.
