composed by Giacomo Puccini

This is one of the most justly revered operatic recordings ever made -- a dramatic and musical gold standard for Tosca despite its advancing age and monophonic sound. It was the last major recording project for Victor de Sabata, one of opera's greatest, yet least often recorded conductors. He brought a distinctive rhythmic urgency to this ...

composed by Giacomo Puccini

EMI's 1955 recording of Madama Butterfly features three of the brightest stars of the era, Maria Callas, Nicolai Gedda, and Herbert von Karajan. Callas hadn't yet sung Cio-Cio-San on-stage when she made this recording, but she fully inhabits the role and brings penetrating insight to it. She's completely convincing as an adolescent, a remarkable ...

composed by Gioachino Rossini

EMI's 1957 Il barbiere di Siviglia remains near the top of the pack of recorded performances of the opera. As important as the fine cast is in making this a memorable version, it's a work that needs top-notch conducting to make its fullest impact, and Alceo Galliera leads the Philharmonia Orchestra and Chorus in a quicksilver performance that ...

composed by Giuseppe Verdi

Maria Callas, not the easiest singer in the world to get along with, and Herbert von Karajan, not the easiest conductor in the world to get along with, got along with each other very well. Together they recorded a harrowing Lucia di Lammermoor in 1954 and a heartbreaking Madame Butterfly in 1955 before they taped this Il Trovatore in 1956, and ...

composed by Giuseppe Verdi

This is not a great Aida. Afterall, it's a 1951 live recording of an indulgent, sometimes bombastic performance in Mexico City. But it is a great recording in many ways, and interested collectors will be eager to have it. It features both Maria Callas and Mario del Monaco at the beginnings of their international careers. Callas is as fresh-voiced ...

composed by Vincenzo Bellini

This is a reissue of Maria Callas' first Norma at Covent Garden. In fact, it was her first production of any opera there, one that marked the beginning of a long and fruitful relationship. As you would expect from a live recording made in 1952, the sound is not spectacular, but it is better than many from that era, and the performance is worth ...
