Exceptional reissue meticulously restored in 24-bit/96Hz, produced by Abbey Road Studios from the original tapes. Before her Venetian triumph in 1949 in Elvira from Bellini's I Puritani, a role usually assigned to light coloratura voices and which she approached under the direction of conductor Tullio Serafin, Maria Callas had rather established herself in characters with a strong epic and dramatic content, such as the title role in Die Walküre. This success in Bellini's final opera anchored her in the firmament of bel canto stars. In this recording made in 1953, we find tenor Giuseppe di Stefano as Arturo, one of her dearest colleagues.
