Editorial Review:

Amazon.com essential recording:
Little can be added to what's been written about this landmark recording, except that Walter Legge's 1953 mono production yields nothing to modern Tosca recordings for vivacity and theatrical impact--especially Maria Callas's. The miraculous Victor de Sabata conjures up a vibrant, inspiring orchestral canvas that enables Callas and her stellar cohorts to work their magic. Tito Gobbi and Callas spur each other on to heights in which the characters take over from the singers in the listener's mind. Giuseppe Di Stefano is on his best behavior, and in fresher voice than on his fine Leontyne Price-Herbert von Karajan remake. On this set, EMI includes texts, translations, and notes that discuss this recording in the context of Callas's mercurial career. --Jed Distler

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The best Tosca ever!
For me this is the Tosca to get. In my view, no one comes close to the passion of Callas. Everything else is right too. Will probably never be done better. And this is a 1953 recording.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A gift to mankind
This is much more than the best opera recording ever: it is the true expression of perfection.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Good alone Tito Gobbi and Victor De sabata
Maria screamed at all times, no pianissimis. The best Tosca is with Renata Tebaldi and Mario Del Monaco.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Opera as Drama
Originally posted in my music review blog. Check my profile if you are interested.

Music critics have long been fond of drolly referring to Tosca as a "shabby little shocker" and then misattributing the comment to George Bernard Shaw. No small wonder, then, that this Tosca has long been hailed as the "greatest" opera recording of the last century, even before such milestones as the Solti Ring and the Giulini Don Giovanni.

But are such superlatives justified? There ... Read More


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Pretty Good
This CD set is fairly nice for the price it was. Everything sounded beautiful, my only problem was that some parts are way louder than others, so I had to control the volume alot.
