Nothing, NOTHING compares with this version of Don Giovanni. Corena and Siepi play each other off perfectly. I even have the LP's (which the program notes and drawings are something else!). These two, along with Nillson, Price, Valetti, etc. might result in "ego" bruising and result in a terrible performance. Thankfully, it doesn't. A true recording. --Amazon customer
