I've always heard ABOUT Pobbe as being a great verista, but never heard her,an interesting, clear voice, great word coloring...maybe a decade past it's prime
Great version of Scarpia. But Pobbe... her opinion of herself was much higher than the real price. Apart of constant singing out of tune she permitted herself saying about Callas "non era manco italiana" ("she wasn't even Italian"). I do not have any respect for this person neither as a singer nor as a woman.
Grandissimo Mcneill, fraseggio, interpretazione, voce..uno splendido Scarpia
Whatever the shortcomings when compared to others of her period, I'd be honoured to see a Tosca like hers today!
hahaha... wish we could find Soprani e baritoni like these today... give me a break!

Fantastic MacNeil, and I love Pobbe
bravissimo, MacNeil!
Magnificent MacNeil getting no support from Mme. Pobbe, who appears to be a graduate of the Greek Vase School of Dramatic Art.
8:07-8:20 😱😱😱
Macneil sounded amazing back then! Too bad he kept performing after the voice left, because that's how I remember him.
