"A quartet of major voices was on hand to fill the leading roles… Naturally, they gave fans of sheer vocalism a great deal to cheer about during the evening… Mr. Pavarotti gave a splendid full-throated performance… He was also a sensitive partner in the many ensemble numbers… Miss Mitchell filled the house gloriously… Mr. Milnes was a dominating force… Mr. Raimondi gave his usual solid performance, musically and dramatically… James Levine's conducting had plenty of passion and momentum." – New York Times
