Opera Recitals (Freni. M, Moffo. A, Caballe. M, Price. L, Scotto. R)
[…] Il Bel Sogno di Doretta (from La Rondine) Puccini: Vissi D'arte (from Tosca) Puccini: Signore, Ascolta! (fromn Turandot) Puccini: Tu Che Di Gel Sei Cinta (from Turandot) Rome Opera House Orchestra, Oliviero De Fabritiis (conductor) *Rome Opera House Orchestra, Arturo Basile (conductor) (1959) These are from a box set called "Voix Les Grands Recitals" which reproduces 15 classic recitals from Sony/BMG. If there is interest I can post the next 5 (Rysanek, Borkh, Verrett, Steber & Tucker) and then 5 more (Domingo, Vickers, Milnes, London & Wunderlich). I do hope you enjoy. The Anna Moffo and Leontyne Price are exceptional in my opinion.
