Four incontrovertible arguments to buy this Giulini EMI version: Schwarzkopf, Ludwig, Gedda, Ghiaurov. Transcendent. I don't think Schwarzkopf and Ludwig have ever been more sublime on record, and that's daring to say quite a lot.And if you order the newly remastered Japanese EMI/Toshiba version, the sound will be audibly better than in the frustrating EMI GROC issue (you can get it from amazon.jp or hmv.co.jp). There's not so much noise filtering used, which really makes a difference. And it's cheaper, too.
Of the digital recordings, the earlier one of Abbado's two takes (for DG, with Studer, Lipovsek, Carreras, Raimondi) comes closest. But that's still a distance. Many critics liked his second one quite a lot, too (with Gheorghiu and Alagna, for EMI). I wouldn't bother about the rest.
