Background: Before Maria Callas made this recording of Il trovatore, at La Scala, Milan, in August 1956, she had been singing it often since 1950 and with notable success. Throughout this recording, Callas’s singing of Leonora’s music is superlative. In, for example, D’amor sull’ali rosee her delivery is so musically authoritative she shapes the long phrases with subtle use of rubato and perfectly drawn portamenti, each differently weighted according to the dynamics, the interval accomplished and the speed of the music.
