I so wish this complete Aida had survived. Everyone is absolutely inspired and de Sabata presents us with one of the most sensitive readings of the score I have ever heard: he knows exactly what he wants and is able to achieve it and yet he gives the singers the space and support they need. One of my favorite conductors, for sure.
Nel 1937 la Cigna era al suo massimo e de Sabata, beh, era un semidio sceso in terra. Dell'esistenza delle registrazioni della tournée a Monaco e Berlino si è sempre parlato; poi, grazie a Dio, dopo la caduta del Muro, sono riapparse.
