Wonderful Tebaldi Recording
Marc Musnick | 01/11/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)

"When this was recorded, Renata Tebaldi was beginning to experience vocal difficulties. Nevertheless, her voice is still beautiful sounding here and this is one of her most committed performances on disk. The problems were with the upper voice and those familiar with Tabarro and Angelica might feel let down that she eschews the high Cs in both works. But it really doesn't matter. Her artistry is evident throughout and I actually like the dark hue to her voice although she successfully atempts at singing with three different types of voices. In Tabarro, she is a dramatic soprano, as Angelica, a spinto and as Georgetta, a lyric. This recording is a testament to one of the greatest opera singers of the 20th century and one of the greatest interpretors of Puccini's operas.



She's joined by del Monaco, Merrill, Simionatto and Corena. All in wonderful voice. Lamberto Gardelli, one of the most underrated and forgotten Italian maestros conducts firmly and strongly.



I love these new Decca editions which are graced by the original European album covers."
