DVD96219 Puccini-La fanciulla del West-Frazzoni,Neate,Petri-Film 1
While thanking Paolo for this wonderful upload, I must say that this is not the
first opera produced and telecast by RAI, this being "Il barbiere di Siviglia"
transmitted on April 23rd 1954, at least according to Gualerzi/Roscioni, "50
anni di opera lirica alla RAI".
Cheers
Maurizio
Hello all.
> I think this film has never been shared on OS. It was the first opera produced
by Italian television, March 3, 1956 was recorded the soundtrack and in a single
day, March 13, the television recording with just two cameras, then transmitted
by RAI.
>
> **Maria Callas top of his greatness and his intelligence, who asked her when
she sang "La fanciulla del West", he replied that for that work was already
Gigliola Frazzoni.**
>
> The video and audio are good, considering it's a very old movie. I preferred
not to convert my original DVD not to degrade the quality.
>
> Special thanks to the moderators and all members of that OS with their passion
and spent much time do we hear, see, know so much beautiful music.
