About

La battaglia di Legnano is among the least recorded operas of the Verdi repertoire. Currently the only studio edition available is the Philips' conducted by Lamberto Gardelli in the seventies. However, prior to that famous edition is this recording made at La Scala in 1961 which enjoyed great fame and diffusion especially in the eighties and nineties. Currently this famous live version has been unavailable for a long time. For this reason, and for the excellent quality of the sound recording, we have decided to make this important document available again. Naturally, a new equalisation of the sound source has been carried out, making the original recording as natural as possible. The vocal cast remains one of the greatest possible in the entire history of recording.
