Charmer313, you are spot on with this comment. I am probably the closest thing to a professional opera singer in this thread (I sing in the chorus of a regional opera), and I can tell you that ALL of the stuff from the professionals at the real houses is high quality. In fact, even the stuff from student performances and community theater is good, for the most part. Yet there are all these critics who have never set foot on stage telling everyone where the professionals are wrong.

why is that so? I am not familiar with the subject, although very interested.

Possente amor mi chiama was cut from the performance, as was common around that time.

maybe not right place to ask, but I am very curious
I have seen act two of this performance (Tokyo 1971.) somewhere on the internet and it seems that Posente amore is not sung. Pavarotti (Duca) just walks off stage after "Duca, duca! Ebben..." . He sings "Ah, tutto il ciel non mi rapì!" and then the whole assemble just start "La ra La ra Povero Rigoletto" with Peter Glossop suddenly appearing. Can anybody explain this please?

It is at certain points, it's not very noticeable and it probably happened because Giulini was dragging the tempo so much. The 1966 Florence version almost equals this one, the sounds is also better than the horrible boxy sound on the Rome version which makes the singers sound like their voicies are much darker than they were. It's especially noticeable on Scotto's voice.
