“Luciano Pavarotti’s Idamante provided the most charming vocal tone of the evening’ Daily Telegraph, July 1964
“Richard Lewis owned the title-role for two decades at Glyndebourne, and realises much of the king’s nobility and anguish…[Pavarotti] produces some thrilling, ringing tone, and uses the text more keenly than any of the other principals. He is incontestably the highest-testosterone Idamante on disc.” Gramophone
