- This recording of Puccini's "Tosca" from 1953, featuring Maria Callas as Floria Tosca, Tito Gobbi as Baron Scarpia, and Giuseppe di Stefano as Mario Cavaradossi, is widely considered to be one of the greatest opera recordings of all time.
Recorded with the Orchestra del Teatro alla Scala di Milano conducted by Victor de Sabata, the recording captures the intensity and drama of the opera, and the performances by Callas, Gobbi, and di Stefano are highly acclaimed. Callas's portrayal of Tosca is known for its emotional depth and intensity, and her vocal performance is considered one of the best of her career. Gobbi's Scarpia is chilling and menacing, and di Stefano's Cavaradossi is passionate and lyrical.

La migliore incisione di tutti i tempi. 70 anni ma non li dimostra.
Proclaimed as the best opera recording ever
Maria Callas,for ever!
Thank you so much for the german subtitles. It was a pleasure for me, to listen to this particularly great recording. You don’t even need to see the stage design. The roles were all sung beautifully characteristically, credible and so captivatingly, that it was easy to visualize in your mind. Bravo!!!
Incisione storica, ed a oggi la migliore che si sia MAI ascoltata. Pippo, Maria e Gobbi indimenticabili interpreti❤❤❤
Registrazione completamente sopravvalutata, una Tosca povera dal punto di vista timbrico e un'interpretazione debole, non è un granché
@@evangeliadimitriadis5706Lei è sorpassata dalla Storia, se ne faccia una ragione. E cerchi un buon otorino.
😢😮❤
А вы кто такой, кто дал вам право судить этих великих исполнителей????? @@evangeliadimitriadis5706
Cet enregistrement est mythique. Bravo pour les sous-titres, c'est vraiment une excellente idée et certainement un très gros travail. J'apprécie énormément, un grand merci.
Merci pour cette exceptionnelle interprétation ! Je pense qu'il sera très difficile de faire mieux après cela !
The best ❤
The Best Ever !
Wonderful ! Who would be able to offer us such great rendition of this tragic opera ? Callas, Gobi, Di Stefano, the orchestra etc…… I have all these records but rediscovering this by a rainy end_afternoon …. What a pleasure !
La chiarezza delle dizioni!
Giganti 😮
È Divina,
Maria Callas.
49:45 Tosca's high C with choire
55:50 Tosca's furious high C
59:00 Tosca's heartbreaking high C
1:03:20 Tosca's high C of despair
1:37:32 Tosca's brilliant high C
Thank you!
Thanks, LOR, for this superb rendering by a superb cast, top to bottom, of one of my favorite operas. High marks, also, to the orchestra and, of course, to the conductor are due. I was hoping this was a live performance, but this studio recording is the best I've heard of this stellar opera from Puccini. Bonus credit to you for the subtitles you provide. L360C37/:-)
Благодарю бога который дал мне возможность понимать волшебный мир оперы большое спасибо вам ❤❤
LA TOSCA DEL SIGLO. CALLAS ETERNA
Una Tosca que saca un 5 aprobada y no mas que eso, timbricamente pobre y canta Puccini como si fuera Bellini, no pasa mucho
@@evangeliadimitriadis5706Podría indicarme en tal caso cuál es su Tosca de referencia? Estaré encantado de escucharla. Gracias.
@@jorgemunoz3545 Renata Tebaldi sin ninguna duda, y luego Birgit Nilsson
??????????????????????????????? @@evangeliadimitriadis5706
This has been referred to by many as the greatest single recording of any opera. It's also interesting how Callas disliked this opera, and how it happened to be her first great success in Greece (where she stepped in for an indisposed soprano) and also her very last stage performance in 1965. I wonder why they chose a photo of her as Medea on this video.
Oihih88u88
I agree about the irony of Callas' feelings toward the opera. Then again, she also didn't like the sounds of her own voice. So, while a majestic, unequaled soprano (IMO), she might have been a sub-par judge. :)
I will always associate her with this role, and with this recording of it. I'm not sure how many times I've listened to it over the decades, but it's A LOT! And that's even taking into consideration the fact that for a number of years there I had moved almost exclusively into a world dominated by Wagner! But there was still always time for Maria Callas, di Stefano, Gobbi, De Sabata, and La Scala. AFAIC, it just doesn't get any better than this.
@@a.e.jabbour5003Tosca is the most wagnerian of Puccini operas.
@@niniasemira2269 An excellent point. And it makes complete aesthetic sense taking my tastes into consideration. :)
@@a.e.jabbour5003 Puccini also loved the music of Debussy, Butterfly is impressionistic and the orchestra in Turandot is ravelian!
Шедевр!!!!!!
I am afraid that there slipped an error in your introductory note: The orchestra is not the Philharmonia, but Milan La Scala. This is indeed perhaps the greatest Tosca recording of all time. I listen to it rarely, so as to prevent my sound system to catch fire...
Thank you, this has been corrected!
@@legendaryopera there's some relict from Turandot in the legend .... 😉
Dirigere in questo modo é da extraterrestri.
In lieu of this great recording the Callas Gobbi Di Stefano Tosca I will always consider it a great tragedy that they could never put together a staged production of Tosca Callas Gobbi Di Stefano. I know a reason for that is that Tosca was never a favorite role of Callas. She actually never sang a staged production of Tosca at La Scala this recording represents the only time she sang Tosca at La Scala.
WHY are you using a photograph of Callas AS MEDEA in Tosca recording? There are many photos of Callas AS TOSCA!
I agree!! Photographs are important… But I don’t want one of you.
