This famous studio recording of three of the greatest singers of the '50's is here reissued in excellent sound on two compact discs (a portion of "The Dance of the Hours" is omitted in order to fit the performance on two CD's rather than three). The remainder of the cast, including Rosalind Elias, Belen Amparan, and Plinio Clabassi is excellent!! This is a long unavailable recording whose reappearance is greatly welcome. Here is a fine opportunity to hear the renowned Zinka Milanov, Giuseppe Di Stefano, and Leonard Warren together!!
