5.0 out of 5 stars this is for the the gentle man who wote the previouse review, 4 Aug 2004
By A Customer
i have listened to opera for twenty years and reading the rubbish i read about the review of this disk anoyes me tosca the opera their are two recordings around that are the very best the first one is this disk and the second is tebaldi&del monaco on decca every one else i have heard is second rate that includes carreas/domingo/kraus bergonzi and many more it is rubbish to say corelli is strained singing tosca people want to listen to the other avarage tenors sing cavaradossi and then listen to franco corelli or del monaco if you now what you are talking about to do with music you will agree they are a different class dedicated masters of their trade and the gentle man who wrote the last review listen with your heart and hears then you will apreciate the brilliance of a supurb artist

1.0 out of 5 stars An average performance., 21 April 2001
By A Customer
It is a mystery to me why this recording was reissued. Tosca on disc can be one of the most thrilling of all operas, but this recording falls flat on its face. It is good to hear Birgit Nilsson in the title role and her formidable voice is used to great dramatic effect in Act II. Nilsson also scales down her voice wonderfully in Acts I and III to produce some tender singing in the opera's romantic moments. As Cavaradossi, Franco Corelli produces heroic tone but sounds strained. There are many more moving accounts of the big tenor aria "E lucevan le stelle" than the routine version given here. The major problem with the casting here is Fischer-Dieskau as Scarpia, who seems to have confused bawling at the top of his voice with singing. Dieskau interprets Scarpia as nothing more than a thug and the voice shows no real menace nor conveys the scheming behind this greatest of operatic villains. Dieskau hams up the role no end and is no match for Gobbi (the definitive reading of the role to date)and Bruson on EMI or London on Decca. Maazel conducts with little feeling for the score and, due to his fast tempi, fails to draw out the tension and drama of the peice- the climax of the opera is really disappointing. If you want to hear this opera at its best, invest in the 1953 Callas recording. It is expensive for its age, but has yet to be bettered. If you prefer something more Hi-Fi, Caballe gives a beautiful performance on Phillips, Levine conducts a theatrical account with Scotto, Domingo and Bruson on EMI or there is a good reading on the Naxos label. All are around the same price as the version above and are far better accounts of this great opera.
