RENATA TEBALDI = MERAVIGLIA DEI SOPRANI. Gianni Poggi : grandissimo tenore ! Tutti meravigliosi, interpretazione SUBLIME ! Chi canta così oggi ? Cantanti così segnano la storia.

Poggi's voice is comparable with the great Giuseppe Giuseppe di Stefano's

Poggi is so underrated! What a performance by both!

[thotmosis]

Tebaldi is great as usual as Tosca, It suits her like a glove. Such beautiful and clear sound. For me she is the greatest Tosca. She is so feminine.I just copied michaud1, he is so right.

[ilbacioditosca]

Sometimes a lyric instrument is confused as it is smaller in size and or thickness than a dramatic.Lyric voices have an amazing G, A, B, normally lighter Cs and Ds.If you study the rol of Desdemona in Verdi's Otello how low a lyric soprano has to sing like in Butterfly. Dramatic is other stuff.

[bozzicone]

one of the best tenor it is a peaty that is not so famous.great renata

If Tebaldi had been singing in the era of Rethberg, Muzio and more, she would have been classified as 3rd rate because she labored when she sang making the voice too heavy thus becoming flat.

[opera535989]

This is a ridiculous comment. There is no way to compare the voices of these singers reliably. The only quality recordings of Muzio were made in the 30's when she was past her prime, you can't tell from the earlier ones. Same for Rethberg. You would have to go by the opinion of someone who heard them all. It's a sure bet that Toscanini would not agree with your assertion.

[michaud1]

You will never hear Tosca with a soprano with such a strong and firm voice as Tebaldi.

[Tarboujh]

Agreed on all points Orfeus. Alot of people forget that she'd been singing since the late 40's, so by '61 the voice lost some of it's plushness, but she'd still sing circles around anyone in today's world half her age.

[Orfeus80]

The most feminine, adorable, dignified Tosca but to be fair to Tebaldi her voice was even more sumptuous in the 50s.

[potrobsas]

This is not accurate.Tebaldi voice remained huge throughout her career and by 1966/68 she sang La Gioconda 40 times ! her performances were monumental and her size was bigger than Nilsson's (Renata voice was thicker and carried more weight than Birgit's even, both the biggest female voices)

[tebaldicallas]

She still had that clear sound unlike anybody singing today - she the greatest Tosca - powerful yet feminine with a beautiful sound. Her diction is not mushy,
