## Description

Lucia di Lammermoor&#x2013;likeLa sonnambula&#x2013;had become associated with light-voiced sopranos, so when Callas took onthe title role in the early 1950s she proved revelatory with her combination of visceral power, technical refinement and interpretative insight. In 1955, she and the La Scala company visited Berlin to performLuciaand the result was what the Germans call a &#x2018;Sternstunde&#x2019;&#x2013;a shining hour. It brought her together with another musical titan, Herbert von Karajan, andthe results were phenomenal, the more so for a cast that also included the tenor Giuseppe di Stefano, the baritone Rolando Panerai and the bass Nicola Zaccaria.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    The best of the three commercial releases of Callas as Lucia
  

*by S***W on Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2018*

Of the three commercial releases of Maria Callas as Lucia di Lamermoor --  Florence 1953 with Di Stefano, Gobbi, and Serafin; Berlin 1955 with di Stefano, Panerai, and von Karajan;  and London 1959 with Tagliavini, Cappuccilli, and Serafin -- this Berlin recording with La Scala and the RIAS Symphony under Karajan is the best, especially in this most recently  (2017) digitally remastered version by Parlophone for Warne. Of the three it is the only live recording and captures the magic of the special Callas-Karajan- La Scala partnership from 1954 to 1955 which also brings out the best of di Stefano and  Panerai. In the 'Mad Scene,' Callas actually seems to come unhinged -- so palpable is her identification with the role. No matter how much you may like the other versions -- or even the three by Sutherland and a fine one by Sills -- this unique live Callas-Karajan version should be in any serious Lucia collection.

    Dreadful - From Any Perspective
  

*by H***L on Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2020*

This live performance recording captures a night to forget!. Callas had her usual problems above the staff and is often off-notes, and whose only passable moments come in the third act mad scene (naturally). Di Stefano charms only in his two main arias. And while it's rare that one feels bad for Von Karajan and the orchestra, here they are battered by the considerable cuts in the score from pillar to post and required to survive the night without any support from the audience claques who are there naturally reserved only to support Callas and Di Stefano in their big moments.It must have been excruciating for Von K. & the orchestra who are spared any sonic focus or instrumental articulation even now by the microphones, which were only trained on the singers, and ignoring the orchestra pit, protecting them and perhaps us from any audible moaning by Donizetti possibly rolling over in his grave. If you have loved these great performing artists of the past, do your memories a favor, and ignore this recording which should never have been released. PASS.

    Wow!
  

*by V***N on Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2018*

This remastered of a superior analogue source is simply amazing. The sound stage is more spacious and warm, and the space around the voices is more natural.  Some distortions here and there remain. However, this is a vast improvement over the previous CD incarnations of this legendary performance.
