A diverse team

Decca recording from 1981 with 5 superstars. This is not always a great success. Pavarotti in top form and even brilliant. Milnes voice. But Mrs. Caballé impossible in the title role. She has not the means and simpering. What a pity! Listen better Callas that she gives back in a reissued by Naxos album: Unique and forget Montserrat Caballé and ecstatic singing and outdated. An orchestra and a chef who do their work. As always in this series, good presentation of Decca with a booklet that does its weight. But there is better elsewhere.
