The best AIDA

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This consistently intense performance has very good sound presence. The video is sufficiently detailed BW.

The profound understanding of this work by maestro Toscanini is hair rising and just invites repeated playing to discover hidden nuances or interpretative geniality.

Unique document even though I like the old 2 laserdisks only because it contains the reactions of all the artists AFTER the final applauses ... and initial entrances. But the convenience of having the entire work on a single DVD (instead of 2 laserdisks) is a most welcome convenience!

Notice that this is a PAL format (Europe) and not NTSC (USA)
Luckily my DVD played accepts this format!! Lucky me!!"
