GIUSEPPE VERDI
La Traviata
Dress rehearsal, recorded November 1946 in New York
Licia Albanese, Jan Peerce, Robert Merrill, Maxine Stellman, Johanne Morland, John Garris, George Cehanovsky,Paul Dennis, Arthur Newman, Arturo Toscanini
Because the dress rehearsals did not constitute a real performance, given before a paying audience, Toscanini himself participates uninhibitedly. We frequently hear him hushing his singers and orchestra or enthusiastically cheering them on, throwing out a monitory "Crescendo!" or "Legato!" or simply singing along. And in Act II, Scene 1, we hear him, in his hoarsely croaking baritone, taking the role of Violetta's servant Guiseppe, who was evidently indisposed. Since these were dress rehearsals, there are none of the famous Toscanini outbursts of temper, though at one point he does come close. The blend of total emotional involvement and professional detachment is characteristic, revealing, and, very moving.
