Tito Gobbi - Tre sbirri, una carrozza...Va Tosca (Te Deum scene) - Tosca

[frankmaiorana66]

@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

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.
