“Elijah Moshinsky’s production is surely as lively and moving as Verdi’s intricate masterpiece deserves. Jose Cura sizzles. Dimitri Hvorostovsky is everything one could want to see and hear in a Verdi baritone. This new “Trovatore” DVD is a reminder that not every golden age happened long ago.” San Francisco Chronicle

Maria Callas (Leonora), Fedora Barbieri (Azucena), Giuseppe di Stefano (Manrico), Rolando Panerai (Il Conte di Luna), Nicola Zaccaria (Ferrando), Renato Ercolani (Un messo/Ruiz), Luisa Villa (Ines)

Chorus and Orchestra of La Scala, Milan, Herbert von Karajan

Studio recording, 1956

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.

“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 *****

“The combination of Karajan and Callas is formidably impressive. There is toughness and dramatic determination in Callas's singing...Barbieri is a magnificent Azucena, Panerai is a strong, incisive Count, and di Stefano is at his finest as Manrico...The Naxos transfer is well up to Mark Obert-Thorn's usual high standard, and one is struck by the wide dynamic range of the recording.” Penguin Guide, 2010 edition ***

“It is nothing short of staggering to see how Carsen, using only light and shade, manages to create new spaces again and again within this dreadful labyrinth of steel. Fabio Luisi conducts the Vienna Symphony Orchestra as though in a beguiling dream. Every single instrumental ornament, no matter how small, is clearly audible on the evening air. The ensemble, freed from the obligation to produce great volume in sound, can now concentrate entirely on beauty of tone and expression.” Stuttgarter Zeitung
