Tebaldi-Colzani-D.Mitropoulos-Simon Boccanegra 1960 PART 2.wmv

[jmccracken1963]

Thank you VERY much for sharing these clips with us. Mr. Bing certainly got some good substitutes for Leonard Warren in the title role - while neither Guarrera nor Colzani fully replaces Warren (NOBODY could, of course), both sang the role very well, each in his own way. And Tebaldi sings so VERY well that it's a pity that she didn't do the 2 April broadcast (though we do have her OUTSTANDING broadcasts of 18 February 1961 and 30 January 1965, the latter with Colzani in the title role).

Dio mio....4:41!

[adolfoa1961]

Yes Dio mio, Tebaldi volume is legendary, listen at minute 7:30 she has a germanic type Wagnerian top

[Kievest]

Two brilliant dramatists Tebaldi and Colzani play out the colossal Verdi's

obscession with the father/daughter

relationship! They sing with authen-

ticity, harmony, sublime tenderness

and nobility! Tebaldi's voice is

youthful and exquisite despite the

less than perfect sound quality of

the recording! Hers is a nuanced

expression of the highest order!
