Puccini: Il Trittico

“Renata Tebaldi brings off a tour de force in her assumption of all three soprano roles…. She gives us some beautiful singing in the passage about the charms of Paris (and) excellent in Suor Angelica, singing with touching simplicity in the scene with the terrible Aunt (superb from Simionato)…. Which reminds me to add a word of praise for the lesser nuns and novices that make all the earlier part of Suor Angelica so uncommonly enjoyable… In Gianni Schicchi small parts are again first rate” (Gramophone)
