Wiener Philharmoniker & Wiener Staatsopernchor, Josef Krips
A 1955 classic that still captivates thanks to Krips's darkly dramatic atmosphere and a ripe Viennese cast headed by Siepi's richly Italianate seducer, sardonic Corena and the brilliant Della... — More…

Orchestra e coro dell'Accademia di Santa Cecilia, Roma, Francesco Molinari-Pradelli

Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, Gianandrea Gavazzeni
Idiomatic conducting from Gianandrea Gavazzeni is a plus, alongside Ettore Bastianini’s cogent Barnaba. Anita Cerquetti is a solid Gioconda, Mario Del Monaco a bold Enzo, but the sound is rough. — More…

This is an immensely and immediately impressive performance… Furtwängler's interpretation of Mozart's equivocal opera is fraught with suspense, menace and… tension. Tempos are often on the... — More…
