Essential arias sung by a legendary soprano at the peak of her interpretive powers
Renata Tebaldi was one of the supreme sopranos of the recording era whose voice was captured in all of its glory at the dawn of the LP era. Alto brings together essential arias by Puccini and Verdi taken from Tebaldi’s great Decca recordings — legendary sessions that partnered her with such luminaries as Carlo Bergonzi, Herbert von Karajan, and Mario del Monaco.
“If you were to have just one Tebaldi CD in your collection this must be it. Each aria is an object lesson in how to sing this repertoire.“
