Listen to a Sample:
Pros:
- Pauline Tinsleys' stunning high notes and fiery temperament make her an ideal Tosca.
- Ermanno Mauro's attractive tenor finds a good fit in the role of Cavaradossi (although standing next to Tinsley he sounds a bit underpowered by comparison.)
Cons:
- The sound is not ideal. There is a rought patch in the Tosca/Scarpia duet and the music just before Cavaradossi's entrance in Act III is missing.
In Mono
BONUS:
Pauline Tinsley sings excerpts from Idomeneo
