"First of all La Minghini-Cattaneo makes all other mezzos seem inadequate. She is reason enough to buy the recording so outstanding is the clarity and range of her voice; chesty low voice and a heady high voice, sublimely focused tone throughout. Pertile is in georgeous voices, not at all displaying the obese and fattish quality that is present in other recordings. The soprano is quite good at times but not up to the others. And finally the Truly Verdian voice of Granforte must be acknowledged!!
You will not do better than this recording overall!"
