PUCCINI: Tosca (Highlights) - Tebaldi, Del Monaco, St. Cecilia Academy, Molinari-Pradelli

Two murders, an attempted rape and a suicide, all packed into about a hundred minutes, makes for spellbinding drama. And this performance of highlights from ‘Tosca’ is just that, in one of Tebaldi’s early recordings for Decca.

Tosca (highlights)

Sante ampolle! … Recondita armonia
Ora Stammi … a sentir
Or tutto e chiaro
Orsj, Tosca, parlate
Vissi d’arte
Lo tenni la promessa
E lucevan le stelle
E non giungono
