That makes conductor \u003cstrong\u003eJosef Keilberth\u003c\/strong\u003e's interpretation all the more fascinating. Without the benefit of decades of established performance practice, Keilberth approaches the score with an independence that gives the performance a distinctive freshness. Listeners may not agree with every interpretive choice, but there is something compelling about an approach unencumbered by the weight of tradition. Equally striking is his preference for a lighter, more classical style at a time when many conductors still favored a broader, more Romantic approach to Mozart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNicolai Gedda\u003c\/strong\u003e was only thirty years old when this performance was recorded, yet he already displays the effortless technique, elegant style, and remarkable linguistic command that would soon establish him as one of the twentieth century's legendary tenors. \u003cstrong\u003eIra Malaniuk\u003c\/strong\u003e brings dramatic intensity to the role of Sesto, singing with a gleaming upper register that suggests she might easily have pursued a soprano career. \u003cstrong\u003eHilde Zadek\u003c\/strong\u003e is equally compelling as Vitellia, skillfully navigating Mozart's demanding vocal writing while bringing impressive dramatic weight to the role.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003chr class=\"mobile-only-hr\"\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Right Column: Cast and Details --\u003e\n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n    \u003ch3 class=\"section-heading\"\u003eCAST\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003e\n      Tito Vespasiano – \u003cstrong\u003eNicolai Gedda\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n      Vitellia – \u003cstrong\u003eHilde Zadek\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n      Servilia – \u003cstrong\u003eIlse Wallenstein\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n      Sesto – \u003cstrong\u003eIra Malaniuk\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n      Annio – \u003cstrong\u003ePeter Offermanns\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n      Publio – \u003cstrong\u003eGerhard Gröschel\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003chr\u003e\n\n    \u003ch3 class=\"section-heading\"\u003eDETAILS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003e\n      Location: \u003cstrong\u003eCologne\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n      Date: \u003cstrong\u003eDecember, 1955\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n      Conductor: \u003cstrong\u003eJosef Keilberth\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n      Catalogue Number: \u003cstrong\u003eOD 12388-2\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n      Label: \u003cstrong\u003eOpera Depot\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n      Number of Discs: \u003cstrong\u003e2\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n      \u003cstrong\u003eIn Mono\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n    \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003chr\u003e\n\n    \u003ch3 class=\"section-heading\"\u003eBONUS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003e\n      \u003cstrong\u003eNicolai Gedda\u003c\/strong\u003e sings arias from \u003cem\u003eDie Zauberflöte\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eCosì fan tutte\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eIdomeneo\u003c\/em\u003e.\n    \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003chr\u003e\n\n    \u003ch3 class=\"section-heading\"\u003eNOTE\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003e\n      This performance does not include the secco recitatives.\n    \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Opera Depot","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":52000181190977,"sku":"12388-2","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"MP3","offer_id":52000181223745,"sku":"MP3 12388-2","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC","offer_id":52000181256513,"sku":"FLAC 12388-2","price":11.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC UPGRADE","offer_id":52080107356481,"sku":"FLACUP 12388-2","price":2.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0238\/9583\/files\/12388-2front.jpg?v=1784584444","url":"https:\/\/operadepot.com\/products\/mozart-la-clemenza-di-tito-gedda-malaniuk-zadek-wallenstein-keilberth","provider":"Opera Depot","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
