This Verdi afficianado digs the Arturo, but you can keep the Shaw.  Like
many of his later records on Telarc, I find that RS does not differentiate
expression from technical flawlessness and I find that dull.  I recommend
the great Decca/Solti recording with the VPO.  Great soloists and a
marvelous performance.
