Rating: - An intense and touching performance!
My opinion about this DVD is not at all as technical as the others I've read here. And it shouldn't, it's beyound my skills. But, as a only recently afficionate of classical operatic songs, I must tell that I came across with this DVD almost by chance on the internet and since I bought it I got really "arrested" by it.

Rating: - A Superlative Verdi Requiem
This recording of the 1967 concert of the Verdi Requiem is absolutely
superb. Pavarotti was a comparative unknown at the time and his voice
is young, fresh and thrilling. All the other voices are equally fine:
Leontyne Price, soprano; Fiorenzo Cossotto, mezzo-soprano; and Nicolai
Ghiaurov, bass. Herbert Von Karajan conducts the orchestra of La Scala
in what was obviously a labor of love on the part of the entire cast and
chorus.

Rating: - Wretched sound, but there are compensations
I may be a lone voice here, but anyone who considers buying this famous video of the Verdi Requiem should be warned that the sound is wretched by any standard, including historical. The acoustic is cavernous, blurring the syllables of chorus and soloists almost beyond recognition. There is microphone shatter at loud cimaxes, and dodgy intonation at various intervals. As much as I wanted to compensaqte for these defects--after all, this is the only way you can hear Pavarotti and Leontyne Price with ... Read More
Rating: - The best Verdi Requiem
This is the definitive interpretation of the "Verdi Requiem"
The scala orquestra and chorus have the feel of Verdi music, The soloists, the best of the twentieth century, and von Karajan, well a genius.
