“Leontyne Price is an outstandingly assured Aida, rich, accurate, and imaginative, while Solti’s direction is superbly dramatic, notably in the Nile scene. Merrill is a richly secure Amonasro, and John Vickers splendidly heroic as Radames. Solti’s version brings full spacious sound, more open and with greater presence than most since” (Penguin Guide 3 stars)
