This review is from: Verdi: La Battaglia di Legnano (Audio CD)

too bad that there is so little on record (studio recordings or otherwise) of verdi's visceral, formative, and in fact definitive early operas. there is so much in battaglia that resonates in the verdi lover's ear and consciousness, and this is one of those performances---far from perfect in many ways---that makes one yearn for the voices and tempi of the not-so-yesteryear. i honed my opera teeth during the period that this recording was made, but alas---except for a few too, too pricy Cetra imports, the music was not available readily to the neophyte except in piano scores----and i had no musical training, much less a piano. so, thanks that his performance is again available, in interpretation by some of the greats of the post-war period.
