Literally colossal! Tebaldi has everything this setpiece needs -- a huge, warm sound throughout the compass, rock steadiness, a blazing temperament, and a gorgeous stage presence. I've never heard a more spine-tingling enactment!
I agree that from the "Suicidio" you know that this performance is going to be special.everything she does here reflects the wishes of the composer exactly ,yet still manages to sound spontaineous.
My mother was right, she has nothing to envy Maria Callas, she is just as spectacular. Bravo Renata, I would give a finger of my hand to hear you sing this aria in front of me!
Good to see this posted. I have the DVD and watch it frequent. I wonder how many people are aware that this was originally on American network TV -- the "Bell Telephone Hour" on NBC-TV.
The production director for all the programing was the actress Sigouney Weaver's father.
Nowadays they have people to eat worms for the priveledge of having their faces on the tube.

Il suo registro di petto in particolare mi piace da morire, è stupendo, potrei ascoltare quel "or piango esausta fra le tenèbre" all'infinito.
