Robert Merrill, Roberta Peters, Jussi Björling, Anna Maria Rota & Giorgio Tozzi

Rome Opera Orchestra and Chorus, Jonel Perlea

When this 1956 recording of Rigoletto was first released in Britain, the Gramophone reviewer commented: “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”.
