4.0 out of 5 stars Fine performance - wretched sound, 18 Feb 2009

By	Ralph Moore (Bishop's Stortford, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Mr Cantrell on Amazon.com has already done his usual sterling job reviewing this set and I agree almost completely with his verdict - except I cannot give it five stars when there are two other excellent studio recordings to go for. I discuss these fairly extensively in my review of the 1957 EMI set conducted by Votto; the other is the splendid 1952 version with Tagliavini and Pagliughi, conducted by Capuana.

As the sound was always dodgy and Opera d'Oro have often done a better job than EMI in their transfers of the live Callas discography, I see little point in buying the official EMI re-mastering when it is available on the Opera d'Oro label via Amazon Marketplace for less than half the price - unless you want the booklet and libretto, as, of course, Opera d'Oro provide their usual minimal documentation (i.e. nothing beyond a cast list, a few cues and another of Bill Parker's skilfully condensed plot synopses). The sound was always grim and this is primarily for Callas aficionados. Bernstein gives her the latitude which Votto's more pedestrian conducting denies her and there is a palpable sense of a great occasion to be perceived through the murky sonics. He had many more weeks than normal to rehearse the piece and it shows; there is a lot of lovingly played detail and a sense of unity between the diva and her maestro. It is also true that Valletti is superior to Monti but not necessarily to Tagliavini; neither Zaccaria nor Giuseppe Modesti, good as they both are, is superior to the peerless Cesare Siepi in the old Cetra set. I still want this in my collection as a souvenir of Callas in one of her best r�les on a special night at La Scala but her studio recording is almost as good and makes easier listening - and ultimately the Cetra is the best all-round choice.
