Giuseppe Taddei (Figaro), Anna Moffo (Susanna), Eberhard Wächter (Count), Elisabeth Schwarzkopf (Countess), Fiorenza Cossotto (Cherubino)

Philharmonia Chorus & Orchestra, Carlo Maria Giulini

"coming back to it now after more than 50 years it has a lot to offer. First and foremost Giulini’s no-nonsense conducting, fresh as paint...He has at his disposal a dream-cast...[Taddei] is an ebullient - and vitriolic - Figaro....[Moffo] is a pert and lovely maid and in creamiest voice...The recording is fully up to EMI’s high standard of this period" - MusicWeb, International, 8th November 2013.
