Title: Unlistenable sound disqualifies a striking performance
Review: Everyone in the cast of this 1962 Covent Garden performance who is well known, principally Cesare Siepi as the Don and Mirella Freni as Zerlina, can be found on commercial recordings. Solti had a great run at Covent Garden, and I'd like to have heard his interpretation, but the sonics make that impossible. This is a scratchy, murky, distant home recording that would have been a disgrace in 1922, much less 1962. In lieu of Amazon providing any audio samples, be warned.
