****
“With Luciano Pavarotti as a powerful Des Grieux, James Levine conducts a comparably big-boned performance of Manon Lescaut, bringing out the red-blooded drama of Puccini's first big success, while not ignoring its warmth and tender poetry...The rest of the cast is strong too, with Dwayne Croft a magnificent Lescaut”
