wonderful Tebaldi and Tucker together were combustable. Tucker being one of the few singers to be able to match Tebaldi note for note. Remember BJorling said that singing with Renata was like singing with two sopranos at once.when Karjan recorded the Triumphal scene in the Famous Aida he made poor Renata sing it 20 times and printed the last take. beacaus her voice always came over orchestra and chorus so loud and clear.poor Karajan , he could not defeat Renata!!

Tebaldi is the greatest and most perfect soprano voice.A vocal glory

@SHICOFF1 Sorry but nobody noticed that the most bright tones of the woman voice mark the top of the sharp sound the of recorded of the TV used at that time ? Richard Tucker had not a bigger voice than Renata Tebaldi. Listen the '56 Chicago Chenier final duet also in youtube. Aside that , in the 1957 Andrea Chenier studio version Tebaldi breaks into ashes Del Monaco and Tucker voice was not bigger than Del Monaco voice at all !

I agree Mr. SHICOFF1 No soprano can with possibly one exception. Arroyo in the grand scene from Aida she matched him at the great high C moment.

[SHICOFF1]

No Soprano ever drowned him out. The last note he sings must have been heard in the street!

Sublimi entrambi !

Grazie !

@ThePavafan Even if he had only matched, that would be a feat by itself. The fact that he better that challenge makes it all the more remarkable.

[VinylToVideo]

Imagine one night being able to hear the top opera singers of the day (more like of the century) on a show like this and then the next night being able to hear someone else like perhaps Elvis on the same show. What a hell of a time that would of been to grow up in. I feel like I've been shortchanged.

[ThePavafan]

Match her??????? He drowned her on every note they sung together.

[SHICOFF1]

the reason she seemed a few inches taller as was commented on here was that she wore high heels and he never ever wore raised heels like many tenors did and she was slightly taller then tucker to start with.

Tebaldi said Karjan asking her to sing that part over and over and over again fatigued her voice so much , she had to cancel her following concert,"I never forgave him for it" she said in the video........and Karjan used the FIRST take on the record, DUH  !!! noone knows the music OF the soloist better THAN the soloist, conductors are NOT GOD
