Roberti has the measure of her role, of Verdi's idiom; her line steady in all she sings, her tone well bound...[Del Monaco's] is an all-out interpretation, with his voice blazing forth, if not, to my ears, with a lovely sound...[Bastianini] is at his most voluminous with resounding notes a-plenty, but he supplies little modulation of that grand sound and not much evidence of imagination. Don't, however, decry the effect his voice can have per se.
