Domingo's is one of the greatest accounts of the role ever recorded, from "Questa o quella" through to a classic account of the famous Quartet ... The Giulini set is necessary listening for anyone interested in Verdi, Rigoletto, or the tenor's art.” GRAMOPHONE MAGAZINE, 1985 “By and large this set of Rigoletto must now become the recommended version. [This recording was met with] excited anticipation at finding Giulini once again in the studio recording his beloved Verdi ... Giulini, like the composer, was himself out to "make something of a great subject", and he – with the dedication of about as strong a cast as it would be possible to assemble today, the Vienna Philharmonic and the DG engineers – has achieved not just another performance of an oft-recorded work but something with that kind of individual distinction so rarely encountered.” GRAMOPHONE MAGAZINE, 1980
