This is a superb disc, quite the finest collection of operatic choruses available. The combination of precision and tension in these La Scala performances is riveting, and the recording is of superlative standard, offering a wide dynamic range, fine detail in the pianissimos and marvellous weight in the moment of spectacle. The diminuendo at the end of the Anvil Chorus is most subtly managed, white the rhythmic bounce of Si ridesti (from Ernani) is matched by the expansive brilliance of the excerpts from Aida (lovely fruity trumpets) and Don Carlo, and by the atmospheric power of Patria oppressa from Macbeth.
