RECORDING INFORMATION Decca’s recorded legacy is dominated by the huge number of complete opera recordings and vocal recitals. While a vast number of these recordings have seen CD release in the past 20 years, many of the original LP recitals have been reissued with other material in order to increase the overall playing time due to the longer time available on CD and modern covers have replaced the originals. This new mini-series is unashamedly nostalgic and presents original recitals as they were first published during the 1950s and 1960s. Original LP cover art is reproduced and the original back of the LP is used as the inside of the digipack. A clear tray is used with a detail from the original LP sleeve as a background, and the back of the digipack gives the tracklist and artist details in a uniform, current style. This is the second group of Classic Recitals. Renata Tebaldi was born in Pesaro on 1 February 1922 and made her debut at Rovigo in Mefistofele (as Elena) in May 1944. One of her earliest and most enduring roles was that of Mimì which she first sang in Parma in January 1945 and which would feature in her repertory until 1970. At New York's Metropolitan Opera where she first appeared in 1955 Tebaldi performed all of her stage roles and it was in that house that she gave her final stage appearances as Desdemona (Otello) under the baton of James Levine in January 1973. Renata Tebaldi's farewell recital would be on home ground when she bade farewell to her public at La Scala, on 23 May 1976. Renata Tebaldi's catalogue of recordings for Decca began with a recital disc, made in 1949. Over the next twenty years she would go on to record twenty-seven complete opera recordings of twenty-two roles. |
