Puccini: Tosca - Albanese, Consiglio, Sgarro, Castel; Coppola. Hackensack, 1972
$9.95
Description:
As Tosca, Licia Albanese, at the age of 63, delivers a masterclass in Italianate style, her interpretation deeply informed by her work with Toscanini and others who had a direct connection to Puccini. Even in the later stages of her career, she maintains a remarkable level of vocal finesse and dramatic insight that underscores her legacy in this repertoire.
Anton Coppola leads the performance with as much poise as possible, though the orchestra often seems to struggle with cohesion and accurate entrances, creating moments of unintended tension.
