In that category: the Karajan Tosca, absolutely magnificent on open-reel, the Leinsdorf Turandot, far superior to the Shaded Dogs, the Forza and Butterfly, which are competing against Dynagroove LPs, the Karajan Carmen--I've just auditioned a brand-new, unopened copy, and it zowies the Soria LPs, the Serafin Otello, and the Sutherland/Bonynge Norma.I don't know whether RCA lavished greater care on the opera sets, but even in quarter-track format, these are some fantastic tapes.
