Richard Moohr’s recording of Ernani in Rome for RCA in 1967 was the first stereo recording of this Opera. It featured an exceptional cast with Carlo Bergonzi and Leontyne Price under the conduction of Thomas Schippers. Since then there have been no more than four recordings of this work, and this version is still considered one of the most significant in Verdi’s discography. It has not been available on the market for several years. For this reason we have made it available in our catalogue.
