You're right. In fact, Ruggero Raimondi opened the way for bass-baritones to sing Scarpia. In 1982, at the invitation of Herbert von Karajan, he recorded his first "Tosca" (together with Jose carreras and Katia Ricciarelli). And he has been the most intense, powerful, attractive, and vocally marvellous Scarpia ever since.

Both, great, specially Raimondi. 5 stars.

Domingo is no tenor?? What a joke!!! LOL

The only star in this awful production isRu Raimondi, his voice and acting are superb, Domingo should never have taken on any tenor role, he is a baritone,but the sceaming rather than singing Vittoria is really unforgiveable.

Raimondi magnifico come sempre!! Nessuno è alla sua altezza!

poche parole, questa edizione della Tosca è STUPENDA

[esclarmonde1]

Raimondi is the star in this film, Domingo is no tenor and Malfitano's acting poor as she clings to Ru instead of repelling him. But I would also find it hard to repel this lovely man!
