The Consensus Reference Recordings of Verdi

Gil Zilkha, singer/collector/music enthusiast
In this installment of Essential Classical Music, I cover the consensus reference recordings of the major Verdi works. This video is taken from my larger video covering the consensus reference recordings of the core classical music repertoire.
Featured works:
Requiem
Aida
Otello
Rigoletto
La Traviata

For the Requiem I prefer Bernstein or Muti. Aida - Solti with Leontyne Price. Othello - no doubt Toscanini, but also worth mentioning is Karajan with del Monaco and Tebaldi, Rigoletto - Solti with Merrill and Kraus. But your choices are well reasoned and well chosen.
