Verdi: Aida / Karajan, Tebaldi, Simionato, Bergonz

Tebaldi · Simionato · Bergonzi · Singverein Der Gesellschaft Der Musikfreunde · Wiener Philharmoniker · Karajan

“...unrivalled for many years for its spectacle in this most stereophonic of operas...helped by having a Viennese orchestra and chorus, rather than an Italian one that was determinded to do things in a 'traditional' manner, but most important of all is the musicianship and musical teamwork of his solists. Bergonzi in particular emerges here as a model among tenors, with a rare feeling for the shaping of phrases and attention to detail...Tebaldi's interpretation of the part of Aida is well known and much loved. Her creamy tone colour rides beautifully over the phrases and she too acquires a new depth of imagination.” Penguin Guide
