Decca
Verdi: Luisa Miller
About This Album
In its Compact Opera Collection, Decca has found a way to take advantage of new technology to make its recorded operas more useful and attractive. This recording of Verdi's Luisa Miller should be familiar to many fans of Italian opera -- this 1975 recording with Caballé and Pavarotti was one of the first opera CD sets issued by the old London label. But now, gone is the hefty box and thick libretto that once accompanied it -- instead, a slim package with a striking cover image graces the recording. Inside, a much smaller book insert has a synopsis of the opera in four languages and a detailed track list. Insert the first disc into your computer, however, and you get the complete libretto for Luisa Miller. Heavenly days! This recording is one of the best made of this particular opera, and with Decca's attentive transfer work the sound here is better than ever -- the stereo spread separating the various characters in Verdi's tragedy has never been reproduced with such clarity. By all means, the customer shouldn't hesitate to pick this up if interested in Luisa Miller; however, if one already comes equipped with the old London set, you wouldn't be blamed for wanting to upgrade to this new reissue. ~ Uncle Dave Lewis, All Music Guide
