One of the greatest opera recordings ever made returns in a premium ESOTERIC Super Audio CD Hybrid edition.
Herbert von Karajan's first complete recording of Verdi's Aida is widely regarded as a landmark achievement in recording history. Featuring an outstanding cast led by Renata Tebaldi, Carlo Bergonzi, Giulietta Simionato, and Cornell MacNeil, together with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra and Vienna Singverein, this celebrated DECCA recording was praised upon its original release as "an almost ideal recorded performance."
Newly remastered from the original master tapes using ESOTERIC's advanced DSD mastering technology, this deluxe edition faithfully reproduces the warmth, detail, and grandeur of one of the finest opera recordings of the 20th century.
