About
“Tebaldi offers a forthright, lusty account of Mascagni’s piece of blood and thunder and has the distinction of three excellent soloists. She is most moving in Voi lo sapete and the rich firmness of Bastianini’s baritone is beautifully caught. As always, Björling shows himself the most intelligent of tenors” [Penguin Guide]
