'Kubelik is a conductor in Fricsay's class as his support for Fischer-Dieskau's Rigoletto reveals. Fischer-Dieskau once more reaches to a character's soul'
(Gramophone)

"Renata Scotto - a Gilda? A full-bodied intense voice, it was one I never associated with coloratura roles. Boy was I wrong. She shows an amazing flexibility and control. Her 'Caro nome' is one to be heard many times. She reaches a high D and decrescendo's to an incredible ppp. I felt the aria drug a little in tempo, but the gorgeous sound more than made up for it."
