Why 5... Find Out!.......2006-10-13
Outstanding De Sabata! Most famous and controversial Tosca! .......2004-08-07
This is one of the few recordings in which the conductor attracted my attention more than the singers. This is not to dismiss the singers but De Sabata's conducting makes this the most idiomatic Tosca recording I've ever heard.
All three protagonists are heard here in their short-lived prime. Callas in firm voice is a capricious, nervous and furious Tosca. Many accuse her of overacting but here she controls herself and most outbreaks sound sincere. You won't hear the grandness, dignity and beauty of Tebaldi's Tosca but Callas' Tosca is a unique creation. No need to argue which one is better, they both are legendary and besides, tastes differ.
Di Stefano is all ardour and tenderness in this most beloved tenor role. I can already hear the manners that eventually ruined his instrument but he nevertheless is a memorable Mario. Gobbi's Scarpia frightens Tosca not because of what he is but because of what he can do. Gobbi doesn't have the huge voice that made Bastianini or London so scary but he uses his to great effect and creates a sinister Baron Scarpia. Luise's Sagristano is most convincing.
One of the greatest virtues of this old Tosca recording is its vitality and chemistry between the performers. No wonder that since its release it's impossible to make and accurate historical evaluation of Puccini's Tosca without taking it into account. Finally released at budget price!

Wow Wow Wow Wow Wow!!!!.......2004-03-16
No more! This is a new (12/03) EMI Remaster of the famous de Sabata "Tosca" -- yes, THE definitive "Tosca" starring Callas, Di Stefano, and Gobbi. And I can tell you it sounds WONDERFUL!
Why is this set so affordable, then? I have no idea! There is no libretto included, only a slim booklet with a track list, a short synopsis of the action for each track, and one article about the opera and this performance. There is no cardboard case, and only a simple 2-part jewelcase, not the hefty one often provided with opera CD sets.
But it's enough!! It's more than enough! I'd buy these disks if they were sold loose in a paper bag. I am totally, permanently won over. This performance is simply electrifying! The music leaps out of the speakers and grabs you. Callas as Tosca had me in tears! Scarpia scared me! It's too good to believe it happened several decades ago.
All I can say is, Buy this now before they realize what a gem this is and raise the price! You won't regret it.

Director Tony Scott's tale of an ex-Marine-turned-bodyguard (Denzel Washington) who responds to the kidnapping of his young charge and her family with a violence-drenched cycle of revenge and torture is driven by the filmmaker's typically manic visual sense. English composer Harry Gregson-Williams, whose conjured similar action-oriented synth-symphony fusion scores for The Rundown and Spy Game, deftly expands the dimensions of that bi-polar musical sensibility here, infusing it with gentle ethnic folk touches and the ever-savory sonic contributions of Lisa Gerrard. The composer matches Scott's visually jarring action sequences with a melange of strangled guitar riffs, metallic rhythms and aggressive electronic soundscapes, contrasting them masterfully against quiet piano passages and brooding symphonic pastoralism. Contemporary Latin ballads by Gabriel Gonzalez and Cuban singer/songwriter Carlos Varela help cement the score's foreign intrigue, while Gerrard (arguably the MVP of soundtrack utility players) contributes a smart remix of the title track and collaborates with Gregson-Williams on the haunting "The End," which also features her distinctly exotic vocals. The result is a spiritual cousin to Hans Zimmer's similarly compelling brew of electronica and world music for Black Hawk Down. -- Jerry McCulleyCustomer Reviews:

Enjoy a little night music with Mozart and this ultimate collection of his music. This incredible 20-CD set presents the listener with all of Mozart's most famous works, from Symphonies and Concertos, to highlights of his best operas The Magic Flute and Don Giovanni.

A Wonderful Collection.......2007-04-11
Celebrate Mozart's 250th at a Budget Price.......2006-01-11
This 20-CD box set gathers all of his major symphonies, concertos and operas into one massive collection. All of the selections are performed by European musicians (eg. the Budapest Philharmonic Orchestra, the Berliner Kammerorchester, etc.). While not household names, the music is uniformly excellent.
If you're looking for an inexpensive purchase (I got mine at a national retailer that rhymes with "Clam's Tub" for under $20!) to kick off your "Rock Me Amadeus" party, this is a great choice. RECOMMENDED

Amazon.com essential recording
Little can be added to what's been written about this landmark recording, except that Walter Legge's 1953 mono production yields nothing to modern Tosca recordings for vivacity and theatrical impact--especially Maria Callas's. The miraculous Victor de Sabata conjures up a vibrant, inspiring orchestral canvas that enables Callas and her stellar cohorts to work their magic. Tito Gobbi and Callas spur each other on to heights in which the characters take over from the singers in the listener's mind. Giuseppe Di Stefano is on his best behavior, and in fresher voice than on his fine Leontyne Price-Herbert von Karajan remake. On this set, EMI includes texts, translations, and notes that discuss this recording in the context of Callas's mercurial career. --Jed DistlerCustomer Reviews:
The Incomparable Callas .......2007-05-13
A complete classic among classics.......2007-03-19
At the end, pay attention (it is impossible not to) to Tosca's death... In the voice of Callas, no other soprano in history have achieved such perfection.
Stellar cast - stellar performance.......2007-01-11
Callas at her best with a supporting cast that made this recording stand the test of time. I received two recordings this Christmas as a present so that I can compare and perhaps change my mind (the Alagna - Gheorghiou & the Leontyne Price sets). I listened carefully and although I have to admit that Price's voice has a more melodic sonority Callas was the ultimate performer what little she may have lacked in her voice she more than made with her dramatic qualities, she had a stage presence that can be "heard" without having to watch her.
This is truly a premier performance of an operatic masterpiece. Enjoy it.

Customer Reviews:
Six discs, great price, but... a few obvious choices missing........2007-07-16
Those quandaries aside, this is highly recommended to those with a passing interest in either Callas, or opera in general. With six discs tucked inside a standard double jewel case, offered at a bargain price, it's a no-brainer. So what if linear and biographical notes are missing? So much has been written about Callas, it's doubtful that anyone could come up with original essay about her life and artistic legacy.
Again, if you have no Callas or (gasp!) no opera in your CD collection, BUY THIS COMPILATION. However, those of us who already have both will find some glaring omissions.
In my mind, there are two pitfalls where a six-disc Callas retrospective is concerned. First, the need to achieve a balance in Maria's studio output produces something of a constraint. For example, there could have easily been two Verdi discs. As previously noted, Sempre Libera is missing. But there are other examples, such as Ernani, Involami, Tu Che Le Vanita(!), and arias from Nabucco.
Second, creating a balanced list of 100 Maria Callas excerpts inevitably includes some that expose her improper technique. Now, as rival diva Leyla Gencer once stated, Callas had the "sacred fire," which compensated for her imperfect techique (I'm paraphrasing here). That fire roars with life when it comes to dramatic verismo arias, such as La Mamma Morta, Voi Lo Sapete, and Suicidio. It doesn't crackle when it comes a Mozart aria like Or Sai Chi L'Onore, where her utter lack of Mozartean technique is laid bare. Callas just couldn't work her magic over it, like she did with Mi Tradi Quell'alma Ingrata.
These are minor quibbles, though, in the final analysis. You get double the content of the Callas La Divina collector's box set, for less than half the cost!
The greatest opera singer of the 20th century........2007-05-20
The only complaint I have about this set is the complete lack of texts and notes. Usually these days this material is put on the web for bargain releases, but I was unable to locate any for this set. As Callas's art was in the shading of the texts, newcomers especially need to be able to follow along.
Grab this now while it is still available.

Amazon.com essential recording
Maria Callas surprised some fans when this recording appeared in 1958 by singing some of Rosina's music in the mezzo-soprano range. Originally used by Rossini, the mezzo range helped Callas in characterizing Rosina not as a bird-brained, twittering, helpless ingenue but as a crafty, intelligent woman, smarter than any of the men around her (even the resourceful Figaro). Callas's Rosina knew exactly what she wanted and how she would get it. It is a brilliant performance, made even more enjoyable by the first-class contributions of Tito Gobbi, Luigi Alva, and Alceo Galliera. --Joe McLellanCustomer Reviews:
Bravo a tutti!.......2007-05-31
The orchestra and the chorus are very well conducted by Maestro Alceo Galliera: good tempi and pretty good strenght. If you're getting into opera, this is the opera to start with and this is the version to listen.
Doing Rossini Right.......2007-05-22
But the RCA set distances itself with the presence of coloratura lyric tenor, Cesare Valletti as Almaviva, not that Luigi Alva is second best but the RCA set reinstates Rossini's original closing to the final act with a show stopping coloratura tenor aria that would eventually end up as the closing aria for his Cinderella, "La Cenerentola". There is a passage here with music as fleet and difficult that I thought only a coloratura counter-tenor could sing. Valletti's voice is not as handsome as Alva's but the coloratura work is amazing.
I give both recordings four stars and as much as I dislike having more than version of an opera in my collection, these two recordings are recordings I turn to many times when I want to hear some extraordinary singing.
Now to sonics. Both recordings were made in 1958 but the RCA edition, the second CD edition of this recording, will be of interest to audiophile fans. The sound is splendid, open, with full fidelity. Some ensembles at full tilt distort a bit but the digital master was made using the original tapes on the original tape decks. RCA chose to not clean up the sound (tape hiss) for fear that the original fidelity and crispness would diminish the overall effect. They were right. The EMI remastering is good but I'm always cautious with these Callas Editions because EMI ruined several Callas mono recordings, mistaking the work of adventurous producers and engineers and even pitching some of the recordings incorrectly. But the sound is close to what I remembered with the LP editions. There is a hint of tape hiss, but I would rather have the hiss than the flat line noise reduction systems that deaden the brightness.
A Magnificent Performance !.......2007-05-12
An iconic version of this opera.......2007-03-11
Galliera conducts the well know overture with zest. This is an engaging version taken at a sprightly pace. It starts the opera off well.
"Ecco ridente" is an aria sung by Count Almaviva (Luigi Alva), as he tries to woo Rosina. This serenade is smoothly sung. Alva shows some vocal agility at the close of this aria.
Then, of course, there is Figaro's showpiece--"Largo al factotum." Gobbi has mastered this piece. Her throws off the phrases with panache and captures well the spirit of Figaro. An iconic version (an overused term, but accurate in this instance). The piece is taken at a quick pace, as it must be. There are nice touches here (note how Gobbi throws off "di qualita"). Gobbi easily handles the presto close to this work. All in all, an excellent version.
Callas is in good voice as she essays "Una voce poco fa." Later in her career, when she amped up her volume, some ugliness could creep in to her voice. Not here. This is a nice version of the piece. She displays some good coloratura technique in this aria. Good characterization, too. The cabaletta is well sung, with Callas showing off an agile voice. She hits the notes cleanly.
Finally, the wonderful sextet (this has to be one of the best ensemble pieces in all of opera!). "Fredda ed immobile" begins the fireworks. Everyone gets into the act here. This starts slowly and begins to accelerate, leading into "Ma signor. . .ma un dottor." This is rollicking and immense fun. The work shows great velocity as it unwinds. Callas' singing is infectious, but everyone is in the proper spirit.
And on it goes. This version features a terrific cast, led by a good conductor. To repeat, this is one of the most satisfying versions of "Il Barbiere di Siviglia" out there.
It's not just the stars, but the drama..........2004-12-22
I suppose it is obligatory to mention a couple of negatives: firstly there is what sounds like some odd balance or microphone placement in some scenes (although my recording predates the nineties mastering mentioned by someone else here, so I'd be interested to see whether that has changed there). Secondly Callas' singing style doesn't really fit the Rosina part, for me. However, that is more than made up for the brilliance of her coloratura, evident particularly to my ears in the Finaletto to Act II. Could do with a bit more subtlety from the chorus in places, too, but the Chorus is often a weakness in recordings from this period.
This was the first opera I ever bought on CD, and therefore it must have been one of the first reissued on CD. I don't think it's been off the shelves ever since, so if you haven't got it, buy it.

Muy caliente.......2007-04-20
I am surprised that Larriva hasn't found more of a following in this country. Perhaps it is because his music is hard to categorize. It incorporates elements from classic rock, as well as "Tejano," but doesn't really conform to either. Until the rest of the country catches on, and Tito & Tarantula becomes a household name, they will just have to be our little secret.

Buenas Canciones malos Arreglos.......2007-05-09
En fin sin van a regrabar baladas para ponerlas en salsa, hay que hacer mas agresivos en los arreglos musicales, no hacer algo instananeo como se ha hecho en esta decada con muchos artistas que graban canciones en baladas y las regraban las mismas en version tropical, sacandole peste a la cancion. Eso ya esta saturado.
