Riccardo Muti is in a way the heir to Toscanini in Italian opera, always showcasing great virtuosity, and this Aïda remains one of his greatest successes. Montserrat Caballé, who has often portrayed the role on stage, demonstrates that she can happily and skillfully transition from bel canto roles to the dramatic soprano of Aïda: her high notes are admirable, and her Air du Nil is legendary. Plácido Domingo is a passionate Radamès, portraying a committed, feverish warrior. In the end, this is an ideal version, featuring the best voices of the moment. Very beautiful sound recording.
