Gramophone Magazine

“[On the original release in 1956] under Perlea, the orchestral playing is firm and dramatic, well balanced with the voice. The music is well paced. Björling’s tone is a constant pleasure. He sings elegantly. Merrill, too, is in fine voice: he sings the title rôle in correct and often impressive style… in short, this performance with Metropolitan stars offers an able, and therefore enjoyable performance of the opera.”

Penguin Guide

**

“Naxos have made an excellent transfer of one of the earliest mono LP recordings of Rigoletto dating from June 1956. The set is mainly of interest for Jussi Bjorling's contribution”
