Awards and reviews
January 1990
the vigour and extreme originality of the score is realized...the best reason for acquiring this set is for Pavarotti's delightfully airy and confident Duke of Mantua. Surpassing even his own breezy account for Bonynge, the tireless tenor adds little touches of character and nuances of tone to bring the Duke to life...Ghiaurov, in splendid voice, is a wily, subtle assassin
