I own highlights recording of Tosca with Renata Tebaldi, Mario Del Monaco, and George London. @stevevandien the Te Deum you first heard may be from the recording I have. London is magnificent. That is a baritone!!

This man, LONDON, IS Scarpia... Puccini just knew he would be born one day to sing his lines!
Tho voice is COLOSSAL, it does not respect the limits of nature, and that is exactly what it takes!!!

Der beste Scarpia aller Zeiten!

Le récitatif commençait plutôt bien,le ton et le jeu y étaient crédibles;quand le chant intervient celà se gâte.Mais au moins,on l'entend au milieu du choeur.

I love his voice !! He has wonderful voice and great technic !!!
-
@jp40798 Sure sounds Scarpianate though! Evil bastard! Bravo, George London!

Silvano Carroli in his younger days is my favorite, he's not well known.

Ever hear a young Silvano Carroli? I think he beats them all.

Did anyone ever notice that George London's Scarpia inspired the Dr. Seuss's Grinch? The sideways slide of the jaw, the curl of the eyebrow (which has a life of its own), the liquefied evil incarnate!!!! It's all there, dripping with magnificent evil and rich life-affirming devilishness.

JESUS EFFIN CHRIST................
When and where was this? A splendid version -- and one of my sentimental favorites, since the first "Te Deum" I heard was a London recording:) --
