I'm not going to debate the merits or shortcomings of this recording, you can read the other reviews for that.

A valiant attempt at a complete version, but the results are surprisingly not as expected.
Truly, this original French version of "Don Carlos" is a virtually complete 'recording', with extras in the 4th CD for alternative scenes and excerpts for one reason or other abandoned by the composer.

Magnifique! If you only want one recording of this masterpiece (hard to imagine that), this is the one.
Don Carlos recordings in the original French version are not thick on the ground.

A superb flooding of feelings
The opera \"Don Carlos\" by Giuseppe Verdi is the best historic opera that I have heard: It`s about the conflict between the King Philipp II of Spain and his son, the Prince Don Carlos , who wanted to free the flamands from the spanish yoke.

super cast good results
Giulini here is less brilliant than in earlier efforts, but these days someone like him is missed.

The complete French version - not rivaling the complete Italian version of Giulini almost a decade ago.
Herbert von Karajan had never recorded the complete 5-Act version of Verdi's Don Carlo.

La fausse bonne idée
Entre la fin des années 60 et le début des années 2000 Deutsche Grammophon et Plácido Domingo ont fait une véritable OPA sur Verdi.

On the whole, a very satisfying recording
At the time of its release and continuing to the present, critics have carpted at this, the first big-label recording of Don Carlos, as the French version of Verdi's masterpiece is known.
