RENATA TEBALDI SINGS PUCCINI & VERDI FAVORITES

Renata Tebaldi Sings Puccini and Verdi Favourites

Renata Tebaldi / Francesco Molinari-Pradelli / Alberto Erede / Tulio Serafin / Herbert von Karajan

“In all the major Puccini parts, and most of the Verdian, she recorded in the studio for Decca, that gratifying centrality of voice and interpretation that makes her still beloved by many admirers can be heard. Security, broad phrasing, exciting tone were of the essence in her art. She was undoubtedly a grande dame of the lyric theatre in a way now inexorably of the past. So much the worse for the present.”
– Alan Blyth, The Guardian
