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 “Despite later uncut performances, Callas, di Stefano and Karajan at his most dramatic, are a thrilling team, with an excellent cast and vivid recording from EMI's LPs rather than master tapes.” BBC Music Magazine, July 2008 ***** | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
