"Jesús López-Cobos turns the drama into something ferocious while still highlighting the more tender moments; his instincts are always correct. The offstage men's chorus in the storm is louder and more aggressive than usual, and it terrifies. The Liceu's Orchestra and Chorus are in great form. This is a potent brew, not your parents' Rigoletto, but an honestly brutal representation of the opera. And most importantly, it is musically superb".
