The glory of this set is not only the radiant singing of Domingo, still in glorious, full-throated voice in his sixties, but the warmly understated conducting of Antonio Pappano...[Domingo] not only offers the most beautiful assumption on disc since Windgassen...but he sings with a passion beyond that of most Heldentenors, and he is matched by the tenderly girlish Isolde of Nina Stemme.
