Here are extended excerpts from a 1989 Rigoletto performance from Madrid.
I'm uploading act 3 pretty much the whole of the act.
Part 10 is the famous quartet Bella figlia dell'amore. Jose Collado conducts the following singers:
Rigoletto: John Rawnsley
Duke: Alfredo Kraus
Gilda: Patricia Wise
Maddalena: Eleonora Jankovic
One of the BEST quartets in this world. Mr.Kraus and the rest are just " pefectamente escogidos" to interpret what Verdi wrote. Love it. Thanks for sharing it. I love it.

tutto bravisimmo che bella canzone e aria dall' opera Rigoletto. Me piace molto Alfredo Kraus!!! Thank you for sharing this on UT, Thank you Guiseppie Verdi or in inglese Joe Green, and thank you Lord God Almighty who made us all in your divine image, and gave us all great talents which are so beautiful. How I pray every hour that we can just love each other, forgive each other, help each other and enjoy beautiful things like this music together. May God bless us all with His peace & loveAMEN
