Recording Venue: 7-15 October and 23 & 24 November 1959 / No.1 Studio, Abbey Road, London

"On CD the classic Giulini EMI set, lovingly remastered, sets the standard by which all other recordings have come to be judged. Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, as Elvira, emerges as a dominant figure to give a distinctive but totally apt slant to this endlessly invigorating drama....each member of the cast...combines fine singing with keen dramatic sense." - Penguin Guide, 2010 edition.
