Verdi: Rigoletto MET 1972 Sutherland Pavarotti Milnes BETTER SOUND

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DAME JOAN!!!
My tribute today is sharing this wonderful recording of Rigoletto from the Met. The date is June 10th 1972. I must give credit to Domenico Tassi who originally uploaded this audio. I've reduced the hiss a bit and improved the sound. I've also repitched this recording. This is my personal favorite recording of Rigoletto.
Enjoy!
