****
“A superbly sung recording, this was the standard account of until Abbado's great DG recording, which still commands the field. This is let down by soggy conducting, but still shows great singers in their prime.”
2010 edition
***
“An enthusiastic welcome to this classic recording...admirably brought back to life by Tony Watts and Hilton Grove...The set preserves two outstanding interpretations, Gobbi's Boccanegra and Christoff's Fiesco...no collectors interested in great recordings of Verdi operas will want to miss this.”
