Maria Callas, soprano (Tosca); Giuseppe di Stefano, tenor (Cavaradossi); Tito Gobbi, baritone (Scarpia); Orchestra and Chorus of Teatro alla Scala, Milan, conducted by Victor de Sabata.
Gobbi's distinctive, powerful deep rasp is one of the great baritone/villain voices ever.
During her Act 2 confrontation with Gobbi's brilliantly malevolent Scarpia -- the heart of the opera -- Callas is completely convincing as she goes seamlessly from contempt to pleading to murderous satisfaction.

Like so many other singers, his career was severely hampered by the outbreak of WW II but by the time of his retirement from the Operatic stage in the mid 1970's, Tito Gobbi had gained the kind of fame that among male singers is normally reserved for tenors of the first rank.
Fortunately, Gobbi made many complete Operatic recordings as well as recitals in an age which coincided nicely with the advent of Long Playing records and in addition there are many good 'live' recordings available.
Gobbi conjures up the perfect image of this swaggering peacock of a soldier who expects nothing less than ladies to swoon at the sight of him!

Here's a virtual compendium of great Italian opera baritone arias, and Tito Gobbi's singing is a textbook illustration of how they should be done.
Though on the dry side, Gobbi's lean instrument was ideal for Verdi, as we hear on Disc 2's 17 arias from 10 Verdi operas.
Gobbi was the reigning Rigoletto of his time, amply demonstrated in the inflections he lavishes on the repeated "la-la-las" of "Povero Rigoletto", and his tortured pleadings in "Cortigiani, vil razza dannata" strike to the heart.

Nevertheless, di Stefano's interaction with Callas and Gobbi is sparkling and the advantage of having a native Italian in the role is considerable - he remains one of the greatest Dukes on record.
Interesting, that this person bashes Tito Gobbi's Rigoletto, this acting singer who was known and famous for the tragic Verdi father roles such as Simone and Rigoletto.
In the duet with Gobbi (Piangi, piangi fanciulla & Si vendetta, tremenda vendetta!) she conveys Gilda's horror and remorse as expressive as one could wish for.

Tito Gobbi's performance in this recording is so extraordinary that it balances the opera, reminding us that the the title of the opera is Rigoletto not Gilda.
Tito Gobbi gives a rather more subtle portrayal of the title role than is commonly found on other recordings of the opera.
O.K. I'm not a big fan of Callas, but since she is forever the talk of opera talk, the reigning queen of opera no matter how much you want to avoid her, I heard this recording and now want to comment on it.

 Maria Callas Tosca, Norma, Medea
During some stage action in Act 1 (probably shtick by the Sacristan), a man close to the mike chuckles; and there are bits of conversation preserved along with loud prompter-cues.
But it demands a heroine and villain of equal voltage, and here you get enough from both to reward the subtleties that accrued in Callas’ portrait of a jealous diva, and Gobbi’s lip-smacking police chief who plots to bed her.
I am grateful to Melodram and Divina, even with serious demurrers, for reminding me to be grateful that I lived when I did, heard what I heard, and have the genes and good luck still to remember.

It is, perhaps, unworthy of EMI to issue this under the "Callas Edition", as the star of this Opera is clearly the principle baritone, and the baritone here is no less than the great Tito Gobbi.
Still, for some perverse reason, it is Callas that sells these days, and EMI seems determined to make the most out of one of their top selling artists.
The real tour de force on this disc is the incomparable assumption of the title role by Tito Gobbi.
