Medea
Label: MYTO Historical Catalog: MYTO292 Format: CD Schippers; Orchestra e Coro del Teatro alla Scala; Mola; Ghiaurov; Tosini; Vickers; Callas; Simionato; Giacomotti; Martelli; BonifaccioComposed by: Cherubini, Luigi Myto’s release of Luigi Cherubini’s operatic masterpiece Medea from a live recording documenting a 1961 La Scala staged production with a cast including Jon Vickers, Maria Callas, Giulietta Simionato and Nicolai Ghiaurov is a most welcome one. + Another important feature of this performance is that it highlights the brilliant conducting of American Thomas Schippers, who succumbed to lung cancer at the age of 47, prematurely ending a career whose loss was especially felt in opera orchestral pits around the world.
