5.0 out of 5 stars Among the finest recordings available, 1 Mar 2009
I am afraid I cannot wholly agree with either of the previous reviewers. I accept A Customer's point that Shannon O'Hara has committed a glaring error in her dating of this recording (1960s rather than the actual date of 1986), but neither can I concur that Ms O'Hara's comments are a "drooling non-review".

Given that it effectively launched Verdi's career in 1843, this work seems ill served in the recording studio. Alongside this recording there is an older version by Lamberto Gardelli and the Vienna State Opera Orchestra & Chorus with Gobbi in the title role and a 2004 recording that I have yet to audition.

Abigaille is a difficult role at the best of times. Since Giuseppina Strepponi (later to become the second Mrs. Verdi) premiered the role, there has been no definitive Abigaille. Dimitrova, who fulfils the role in this recording is workmanlike but hardly virtuoso, in contrast to Cappucilli's inspired Nabucco and the usual impeccable readings from Ghiaurov and Domingo.

During Sinopoli's principal conductorship (1984-1994) of the Philharmonia, this London based orchestra prospered and I understand that Sinopoli himself was considered as a successor to Sir Colin Davis at Covent Garden before Haitink captured that particular gem of an appointment. This is one of the several fine opera recordings Sinopoli and the Philharmonia gave us during his ten year tenure. It comfortably stands comparison with any other recording I have heard of a work that hugely influenced its composer's career and, through Strepponi, his personal life after the tragic two years that saw the deaths of both his children quickly followed by that of his first wife.

Sinopoli occasionally resorded to controversial tempi, but not here, he takes them straight down the line. "Boooooriiiing" might come the cry, but when was Verdi ever boring? Give me properly judged tempi any time. Sinopoli and the Philharmonia (remember its history - the legendary orchestra created by Klemperer) really get their teeth into this reading. Neither is there any lack of commitment amongst his soloists. Cappuccilli was all but incapable of giving a poor performance, and he is ably supported by Dimitrova, Ghiaurov and Domingo - by 1986 already one of the world's great tenors.

Altogether a very satisfying recording.

2.0 out of 5 stars A little research, please, 26 Dec 2003
By A Customer
Without further comment on this bizarre and unsatisfying recording, it seems odd to me that the reviewer above makes such a point of its 1960's origins, when in fact it is clearly labeled as being released in 1983. Further, Dimitrova did not make her debut until 1966, and did not perform in any important venues outside Bulgaria until 1970. A bit more attention to fact would make this sort of drooling non-review a bit easier to take seriously.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is almost certainly the best recording of Nabucco, 13 Feb 2002
By Mr. S. O'HARA "Shannon O'Hara" (Richmond, Surrey UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Although this is a 60's recording, it has Domingo when he was coming to the height of his powers.

The orchestra is strong and well-balanced with the voices.

The ensembles are beautifully done with all the voices working and fighting together, with generosity from all the soloists.

As I write I am listening to the end of the second side of my scratchy vinyl...beautifully balanced forces.

Sinopoli manages to balance all of the considerable forces at his command brilliantly.

The production team deserve some kind of serious credit...though in those days (the '60's)...they were little thought of.
