To test the health of this sub-forum, I'd like to ask you to name your Win/Place/Show choices for favorite opera recording. For the sake of this thread- please limit it to one opera per placing (so, for instance, if you have a boxed set of multiple operas that contains one or more that you like, make a separate listing for each opera, and don't simply list the set as one entry).
My choices are going to make me seem like a Georg Solti fan-boy (which I kind-of am)- but I can't help myself here...
1. Wagner- Götterdämmerung, Solti/Vienna/Nilsson/Windgassen/Frick
2. Wagner-Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg, Solti/Chicago/Heppner/Mattila/Van Dam
3. Verdi- La Traviata, Solti/Covent Garden/Gheorghiu/Lopardo/Nucci
