Product Description

BBC Music Magazine
Though recorded 25 years ago, this is still one of the best performances of Tosca on disc. Montserrat Caballe may not have been the most convincing of Floria Toscas on stage, but here her beautiful voice, intelligent phrasing and wide range of vocal colour, helped no doubt by the sympathetic conducting of Colin Davis, combine to produce a thoroughly believable characterisation. Carreras captivates with his then glorious vocal timbre and impeccable legato line, while Ingvar Wixell's Scarpia is both powerful and subtle. Supporting roles are well cast and characterised, with the young Samuel Ramey a strong Angelotti. Colin Davis conducts an exciting performance. But even more desirable are Callas, di Stefano and the incomparable Tito Gobbi under the dramatically forceful Victor de Sabata.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the top recordings ever, 15 Jul 2004
Just listen to caballe's vissi d'arte and enjoy the most clear, light and beautiful voice of the past century.

Ok caballe on the stage is probably not the best choice for romantic and "veriste" heroins, but on cd i prefer her to any other one, including the worshiped Callas od the de Sabata '53 version
