Great music, not a bad performance, but a horrible recording not worth listening to.

Please show me a better quartet of voices than these soloists in this performance. It simply does not exist. I had seen parts of this performance before & fell in love with it. Now IT'S MINE. HE HE HE.

Meraviglioso ! For sure the "vecchio maestro" (Arturo Toscanini) would like it ! It is incredible but it seems that an italian Maestro understands better this oeuvre than others and the result is what you can see here. Horne, Pavarotti, Scotto and Ghiaurov in their best, young and fresh voices. Absolutely, excelent ! From Brazil, JAL

@JAL845 Scotto ruins the performance, she was a disaster

Suberba esecuzione!!!! Bellisima...

Pavarotti is all OVER the place musically and comes in wrong and can't count for toffee - lovely voice of course but VERY surprised how out he gets

Abbado, always great; Scotto, not impressed; Horne, magnificent as usual; Pavarotti, does not perform this beautiful Verdi to my liking ever (always seems stiff as well) Ghiaurov Roma, don't know of him but he was great in this production! Enjoyed he chorus. My opinion and I know I'll get many negative responses. That's okay, we all have our opinions.

@Gary2837 Roma means that the concert took place in Rome. Nikolai Ghiaurov was one of the best bassos in the history.

[Gary2837]

@model84 Thanks for helping to clear my misunderstanding. Always enjoyed hearing Nikolai Ghiaurov sing!! Truly one of the GREAT ones.

Questa è la migliore esecuzione dl Requiem, senza paragoni, Abbado insuperabile, i cantanti splendidi: la Horne svetta su tutti, l'orchestra della RAi di Roma meravigliosa. A proposito ancora oggi non si comprende l'orrendo misfatto perpetrato dai manigoldi che ci amministrano: l'aver sciolto senza alcuna ragione il complesso romano composto da grandi solisti, uno per tutti Severino Gazzelloni. Siamo nelle mani di gente senza pudore che afferma : con la cultura non si mangia! Adriano

@adriano19209 Concordo totalmente, complimenti!
