Maria Callas, Giuseppe Di Stefano, Ettore Bastiannini & Giluietta Simionato Chorus & Orchestra La Scala, Milan, Gianandrea Gavazzeni Callas live, and at the peak of her powers – inspired performances that put her studio sets in the shade…. In the case of Ballo the context of an evening in the theatre makes this a more arresting, vivid interpretation on all sides than its studio counterpart of a year earlier, with Gianandrea Gavazzeni galvanising his fine cast to great things. As the late John Ardoin put it in his study of Callas’s recordings: ‘The La Scala performance is sung with more vivid colours, with accents more etched and a general intensification of Verdi’s drama.’ …. Ettore Bastianini’s forthright Renato, the only role he sang in London and one of his best in an all too short career, and Giulietta Simionato’s classic Ulrica are huge assets.” (Gramophone) | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

Giuseppe Di Stefano, Maria Callas, Rolando Panerai, Fedora Barbieri, Nicola Zaccaria & Renato Ercolani Chorus and Orchestra of La Scala, Milan, Herbert von Karajan Before Maria Callas made this August 1956 recording of Il trovatore, at La Scala, Milan, in August 1956, she had been singing it often since 1950 and with notable success. Callas's 1953 Covent Garden performances earned golden opinions. The Times critic considered the opera should have been syled Leonora: “[she] sang and acted everyone off the stage… The beauty of her line, its plasticity, and its strength, and the easy richness with which she unfolds long phrases, was memorably shown in Tacea la notte | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

“Her reputation, extremely high when she died, has become ever greater in the 30 years since her death. As a personality she remains controversial, but as an artist hardly at all: her genius is recognised as supreme by virtually all opera lovers, indeed it is often from listening to her many recordings that people discover what an incredibly potent art form opera can be.” BBC Music Magazine | EMI - 3971042 (CD - 8 discs) £25.49 (£21.69 ex.
