Sony Classical is pleased to offer lovers of great singing another ten complete opera sets, drawn from the RCA Victor/BMG, CBS/Sony and Eurodisc catalogues.

Rafael Kubelík, one of the last century’s most admired conductors, made relatively few complete opera sets, and this 1985 Don Giovanni is the only Mozart recording among them. Opera magazine had praise for Alan Titus’s “gentlemanly” Giovanni, who “generates lively spirit in his scenes with Rolando Panerai, a Leporello into his 60s but still able to inflect his lines with verbal point as well as expressive colour: the Catalogue aria is quite masterful in its slightly seedy relish. Julia Varady is an Anna to respect as well as admire, having an easy command of line and phrasing with warmth of tone.”
