Artist(s):
Maria Callas
Tito Gobbi

Conductor:
Alceo Galliera

Background: This 1957 Walter Legge production was made on the back of Callas's success in another of Rossini's comic operas, Il turco in Italia: it was a triumph for the diva in Rome in 1950 and she recorded it with equal success for EMI at La Scala four years later.

Oddly, as Tony Locantro's notes recount, Callas had failed on stage with Rosina at La Scala in 1956 (largely because of a poor production); but Legge held to his guns, and the result - her first stereo recording, in the sympathetic space of Kingsway Hall - is now a classic of the gramophone.
