Muti's dedication to the letter of the score pays dividends in the dynamism of this performance.

Muti had no concern for tradition...but the result is dazzling...Overall, it is an intensely compelling account...Scotto and Kraus have long been among the most sensitive and perceptive interpreters of these roles, and so they are here
