Verdi - Aida / Levine, Domingo, Millo, Metropolitan Opera 40 reviews
Aprile Millo, Plácido Domingo
Deutsche Grammophon, 2000
Excellent Recording!
+ Verdi - Aida/Levine, Domingo, Millo
+ My favorite Aida - so far.
This DVD recording of "Aida" is a feast for the eyes and the ears!
Even though it's from a few years ago, the voices are outstanding and
the recording clear and up to date. This is my favorite opera of all
time and this DVD really does it justice. I recommend it highly!

MIRELLA FRENI CHANGES THE NAME OF THE OPERA
+ For lovers of early Verdi, this is an unqualified treat
+ Excellent production but two numbers are missing
WHEN VERDI WROTE "ERNANI" (1844), HE WAS FASCINATED BY THE VOICE OF TENOR GAETANO FRASCHINI (1818-1887), THUS HE MADE THE TENOR'S ROLE THE TITLE-ROLE.
IF HE HAD WRITTEN THIS OPERA ONE HUNDRED YEARS LATER, AND HEARD MIRELLA'S VOICE SOARING ABOVE THE WHOLE CAST AT THE END OF ACT ONE, THAT SWEET AND ...
