Title: A dud, even with the young Pavarotti
Product review: I bought this set with high expectations, but even though it features Pavarotti in great voice, his interpretation hadn't matured, as one can hear from his much better Un Ballo under Solti form 1985. His Amelia, Renata Tebaldi, was the reason for making this recording; sadly, she sounds hard-voiced, squawky, and dramatically uninvolving. Resnik is old-sounding as Ulrica, and although eveyrone else is good enough, Bruno Bartoletti's conducting is humdrum. Even a masterpiece can't take this many deficits.
