Advantages: One of the best Ferrando's on disc Disadvantages: Overpriced
looking for a library addition for yourself, I would recommend the Schwarzkopf/Ludwig recording under Karl Bohm, or if you prefer something more modern sounding (I know that Schwarzkopf can be an acquired taste?), go for the Amanda Roocroft/Rosa Manion recording under John Eliot Gardiner, which is roughly contemporary with the recording I?m reviewing here (both of these other recordings are available at around the £25 mark).

We have visited Prague a number of times and we just love the place the restaurant and beer are the best we have experienced and are rally cheap.
We have visited Dom Giovanni 4 times in the last 18 months and every time had a fantastic meal. Set over looking the river and Charles Bridge the views really complement the food and service.
