Many opera lovers have pronounced this 1972 recording "the best Aida in the catalog." It is truly a great and exciting performance, brilliantly sung and conducted, in brilliant sound. There is no Aida in existence with a libretto at this price, let alone a cast and conductor of this quality. This is simply the best bargain for Aida that exists. One of Verdi's most popular operas in a version that everyone can afford, and will never stop playing.

Includes a 48-page deluxe booklet!
