2014 Maria Callas remastered series reissue. With this Abbey Road 24-bit 96kHz remaster, engineers returned to the original master tapes, bringing new clarity & brilliance to her legendary studio recordings. This Tosca, made in 1953 with the forces of LaScala, is a landmark in recording history. Conducted with searing intensity by Victor de Sabata, it teams Callas with two of her closest colleagues, the tenor Giuseppe di Stefano and the baritone Tito Gobbi - a performer who could rival Callas in dramatic finesse and power. Tosca's aria 'Vissi d'arte' (I lived for art) has come to be seen as Callas's personal manifesto. Review: High quality sound - Excellent sound quality, especially for a remastered 70 year old production. Review: One of the best opera CDs of all time.. - Callas, Gobbi, and DeStefano at their peak

FINALLY THE REMASTER YOU"VE HUNGERED FOR
Don't feel the need to critique this world famous version as anyone looking here already been given plenty of info.. So I will address ONLY the quality of the remaster.. I have tried 4 different remasters of this Tosca. To be honest, they all sucked. Big time. But THIS one is a revelation. Remarkable clarity for a early 50s mono recording. You can finally hear the orchestra at all frequencies and NO hiss or distortion in the orchestra and vocals at climaxes or high notes. You will finally hear everything you expected considering the adulation heaped upon it. While still no demonstration quality, this is far and away the best remastering this issue has ever had and I doubt any better will ever be done. . This is the final one necessary.

Tosco recording with Maria Callas and Richard Tucker
Richard Tucker's performance was on par with Maria Callas. His Radames was memorable.

Maria Callas at the Height of Her Career
This is the version of "Tosca" to have! Callas is fabulous. You will really enjoy this recording made in 1953. Avoid all others.

Callas at her best!
One of the finest Callas recordings ever. The drama is evident in the performance but the beauty of the young voice is there too. Supporting cast a joy. All around excellence.
