| | Amazon.com: Arturo Toscanini Collection, Volume 59: Giuseppe Verdi~Un Ballo In Maschera: Music (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19) |
 | | Performed by NBC Symphony Orchestra, Robert Shaw Chorale with George Cehanovsky, Virginia Haskins, Robert Merrill, Nicola Moscona, Herva Nelli, Jan Peerce, John Carmen Rossi, Norman Scott |
 | | Elsewhere, she is excellent, as are Jan Peerce (Riccardo), Virginia Haskins (Oscar) and Claramae Turner (Ulrica). |
 | | This recording has good acoustics, having been recorded live in Carnegie Hall instead of the notorious Studio 8-H. But because of Toscanini's queer balances, it remains more of a hothouse performance than his recordings of "Otello," "Falstaff" (1937 version) or "Aida," all of which are excellent despite occasional cast lapses. |
