Mattia Battistini

with Emilia Corsi, Luigi Colazza, Aristodemo Sillich, Maria Mokrzycka

"Nimbus produce a different sound: by a fascinating paradox it makes one aware of the experience as valuably special, peculiar to old recordings, yet also helps one to hear the singer in perspective. Listeners differ sharply in their reactions to the Nimbus sound, so I had better express my reaction, personally; the main point being that having heard him in these transfers I feel more able to understand how Battistini sounded in the opera house or the concert hall."

John B. Steane, Gramophone
