Deutsche Grammophon have gone back in the archives to 1972 and followed them all the way through to 2001 to pick the eyes out of the great tenor, Placido Domingo’s performances to present this two disc celebration of Verdi’s music. Featuring all your favourites and more, this truly shows why Domingo’s name was known in the far reaches of the globe as a once in a lifetime singer. These performances have often been played and it feels comforting to hear his familiar velvety voice emerge from the speakers.
