Review title: Underperformed for a reason
Product review: The principals do a fine job of performing their parts in this set which is underperformed perhaps because, aside from a few notably exceptional arias beautifully done by all of the artists in the casts, there is little of gripping musical merit in any of the three good stories. There are many good collections of performances available for much less expense, presenting these fine people singing really great arias without having to endure music and recititavo of little merit, questionably conducted, interspersed between the sparkling good stuff such as Gheorghiu's Babbino. Like all composers, not every note produced by Verdi is worth owning unless you are a true collector of Verdiana. I gave my copy away after two labored listenings.
