"May I say straight away that quite apart from the splendid contributions of Sutherland and Milnes, Pavarotti's Duke has a special flair with free and characterful vocalising which is one of the great strengths of the set…there is a hint of a chuckle in Pavarotti's voice that is something of a Gigli quality. Here is an unmistakable rogue but an unmistakable charmer, too. At once the character is believable, which indeed says much in this opera." Gramophone
"[Pavarotti] is an intensely characterful Duke: an unmistakable rogue but a charmer, too...[Sutherland] is glowingly beautiful as well as supremely assured technically. Milnes makes a strong Rigoletto, vocally masterful rather than strongly characterised." Penguin Guide
