Deutsche Grammophon is proud to continue its Hardback Opera Series with this truly legendary opera recording from the golden age of stereo, remastered to true 24-bit Audio from the original analogue tapes, presented on High Fidelity Pure Audio Blu-ray disc + CD in a deluxe hardback edition with libretti and synopsis in English, French and German.
"...the palm must go to the DG version... for Abbado's more thoughtful conducting, and for his superior all-round cast, including the young Domingo and, as Banquo, the sable-voiced Ghiaurov. The lead roles are magnificently taken by two great Verdians. Piero Cappuccilli's haunted Macbeth is a more complex – and more Shakespearean – portrayal... while Shirley Verrett subtly suggests the neurosis, even the pathos, underlying Lady Macbeth's overweening pride" - Daily Telegraph, London
"Abbado's tempi are unconventional, but with slow speeds he springs the rhythm so infectiously that the results are most compelling...[Verrett] makes a highly individual Lady Macbeth. Cappuccilli has never sung with a finer range of tone or more imagination on record than here, and Placido Domingo makes a real, sensitive character out of the small role of Macduff" - The Penguin Guide To Classical Music, 2010
