RECORDING INFORMATION

This classic recording of Donizetti's comedy pairs Joan Sutherland and Luciano Pavarotti in one of their most celebrated early studio collaborations with both singers on top form.

"...a sizzling performance ... can confidently be recommended both for comedy and for fine singing. Recorded in Kingsway Hall, the CD sound has wonderful presence and clarity of focus."
