Acknowledged to be the finest Karajan recording of this overwhelming sacred masterpiece - "electrifying … with the Italian chorus and orchestra singing and playing their hearts out … a historic document" (Gramophone). This 1967 performance features four of the 20th century's greatest Verdi singers - Price, Cossotto and Ghiaurov were at the peak of their careers, while the young Pavarotti was still comparatively unknown (though not for long).
Cast:
Leontyne Price, soprano
Fiorenza Cossotto, mezzo-soprano
Luciano Pavarotti, tenor
Nicolai Ghiaurov, bass
Coro e Orchestra del Teatro alla Scala
