Rossini: Il barbiere di Siviglia


Maria Callas, Luigi Alva, Tito Gobbi, Fritz Ollendorff, Nicola Zaccaria, Gabriella Carturan & Mario Carlin

Philharmonia Orchestra and Chorus, Alceo Galliera

This 1957 Walter Legge production was made on the back of Callas’s success in another of Rossini’s comic operas, Il turco in Italia: it was a triumph for the diva in Rome in 1950 and she recorded it with equal success for EMI at La Scala four years later.

Oddly, as Tony Locantro’s notes recount, Callas had failed on stage with Rosina at La Scala in 1956 (largely because of a poor production); but Legge held to his guns, and the result – her first stereo recording, in the sympathetic space of Kingsway Hall – is now a classic of the gramophone: ‘She turns in a buoyant, joyful performance. Tito Gobbi’s Figaro and Luigi Alva’s Almaviva also came from the Scala production, and their experienced teamwork adds considerably to the whole achievement. Galliera’s idiomatic conducting gives the singers first-class support.’
