  • @jhutch The orginal vynyl with Callas, if the same one I am thinking of, Serafin was not involved. The conductor may have been Victor De Sabata. Who was the lead tenor? If the lead tenor was Carlo Bergonzi, then Georges Pretre was conducting. If the lead tenor was Giuseppe Di Stefano, Victor De Sabata was the conductor. I have heard both and proudly own the Callas/Di Sefano/Gobbi set on CD.

  • Saw him in a moth-eaten hall in San Antonio circa 1963! Had the original vynal with Callas and Tulio Serafin. WOW

  • HE WAS GREAT...AND A VERY FORTUNATE MAN , HE SANG WITH THE GREATEST SINGING ACTRESS EVER, MARIA CALLAS !!!!!!!

  • My all time favorite Scarpia! Wonderful !

  • Baritones everywhere, take note, you are listening to a master interpreter of

    this role. He may not have had the sheer weight of baritones before and after

    him but God- just listen to that dramatic effect. Hats off to Puccini, what theatrical

    genius he was.

  • Simply incomparable.

  • Oh yes I agree the best Scarpia!!

  • Pure evil!

  • THE BEST SCARPIA!!!!!!!

  • ΤHE Scarpia!

    Thank you.

  • The most evil and the most wonderful Scarpia! That's how it should be.
