The Mezzo broadcast of Il Trovatore, from La Monnaie.
One of my first opera DVDs, I like that impression when you go back to something you didn't watch/listen since you were almost total beginner to opera and you're like REALLY? ARE ALL THOSE SINGERS THERE? because back in the day you didn't know who on Earth they are and now you're great fan (in my case of Gruberova, also admirer of Furlanetto and Stratas + Ziegler and Lima are not unfamiliar names either).
Are you aware of the Divina label release with Callas and Del Monaco?Originally Posted by Festat
Great sound and huge media file with production photos etc.

OOH, $19,99!Just bought it. (:
From the lossless sample it is indeed better than this Myto release I own:
(I just buy them because I love their graphic choice among so much tacky boxing opera records get.)
Been listening to this heaps today:
Love it.

Very interesting. This follows the German Nibelungenlied rather than the Norse Edda sagas, where Chriemhild (Gudrun) is the heroine rather than Brunhild. Siegfried is presumably still the hero, but he's a baritone while Günther is a tenor. I knew about Reyer's Sigurd, but wasn't aware that there was yet another opera dealing with the same general subject as Wagner's Ring.
