Quite possibly the definitive studio recording of Verdi’s opera masterpiece, this stunning performance, brilliantly conducted by Kleiber, features multiple Grammy®-winning tenor Plácido Domingo and the legendary soprano Ileana Cotrubaş. Originally recorded in 1977, this new high-definition release lends an unheard clarity to this already essential recording.

“Kleiber, the great Berlin-born conductor, finds a happy medium in his splendid “Traviata,” with Ileana Cotrubas as Violetta and Plácido Domingo as Alfredo, both superb. His tempo for “Un dì felice” has a gentle gait, a bit slower than Toscanini’s. The restraint allows the singers a little more room to stretch and bend the lines. As the voices blend during the final phrases, they sing with delectable pianissimo tenderness, especially Mr. Domingo’s.” -Anthony Tommasini, The New York Times

Cotrubas’s peculiarly plaintive, vibrating timbre and highly individual nuances seem to me perfectly fitted to the part. To those she here adds a sense of involvement and of spontaneity that suggests a live portrayal more palpably than any other on disc … Kleiber gives the score a Toscanini-like sense of dramatic purpose and impending doom, without being quite as strict with his singers … I have no hesitation in recommending this brand-new DG set, which is easily the most warmly recorded of any … still difficult to beat when it comes to studio recordings in (good) stereo sound … a ‘classic’ in its own right.” -Gramophone
