Tito Gobbi, Margaret Mas, Giacinto Prandelli, Miriam Pirazzini, Piero De Palma & Plinio Clabassi Rome Opera House Chorus and Orchestra, Vincenzo Bellezza In this legendary recording of Il tabarro (The Cloak), the first of the three one-act operas which make up Puccini’s Il trittico, the part of Michele is sung by Tito Gobbi, the foremost Italian baritone of the post-war years and greatly admired by international audiences for the deep psychological insight which, as a fine actor as well as singer, he brought to his interpretations. Singing opposite Gobbi, whose performance has been described by an eminent critic as ‘by far the most individual and compelling on record’, are the distinguished Italian tenor Giacinto Prandelli and the French soprano Margaret Mas, in her only major operatic rôle on record, as Michele’s wife. The cast is conducted by the veteran Italian maestro Vincenzo Bellezza, a stalwart of opera houses in Rome, London and New York. |

Victoria de los Angeles, Giuseppe Di Stefano, Anna Maria Canali, Tito Gobbi, Renato Ercolani & Maria Huder Rome Opera House Chorus and Orchestra, Gianandrea Gavazzeni Recorded 26th-31st July and 2nd-6th, 8th-9th, 11th and 23rd August, 1954 in the Teatro dell’Opera, Rome “When Victoria de los Angeles appeared at the Edinburgh Festival [in the mid 1950s], she was in her prime, the voice as supple and sensitive as it was beautiful. Everything she tackled seemed to be touched by the magic of her attractive presence and glorious singing.” Gramophone “De los Angele's first recording of Butterfly shows her in fabulous form, and Di Stefano is a marvellous Pinkerton. It's not quite as agonising as it should be, though.” BBC Music Magazine, December 2008 **** | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
