1.0 out of 5 stars Don't Buy!, February 20, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: La Traviata 1964 (Audio CD)

This isn't worth the amazingly low price, unless you want to impress with a gift someone you will never see again. This recording is noisy and very low fidelity, with very distracting microphone placement and an amazing level of audience and stage noise frequently obscuring the performance. Stay away from this one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Karajan's La Traviata - interesting and disputable, April 26, 2002

Is it an italian traviata? No. Is it La Traviata? Maybe.
Karajan made peculiar performance similar to engraving. Beauty and delicacy combine with distance and chill - involving and disputable blend. I think it's interesting but not for everyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars if you think you are opera lover, should HEAR once, September 13, 1999

it's a bad quality of recording but maybe only one available Karajan's Traviata. sound is really bothering but you can certainly enjoy his marverous work. you don't have to buy this as your first Traviata but should try once.
