TURNTABLE TALK
BY JAMES G. DEANE

Those who enjoy weighing
the merits of rival prima dom
mas appear to be in for a busy
time Of 1t with respect to
Maria Callas and Renata Te-
baldi. each Of whom seems in
tent on outdoing the other in
putting the entire italian
repertoire on records.
o Three full-length operas
and a couple Of patches of as
sorted arias have accumulated
recently on the Callas side.
For her part, Tebaldi Is rep
resented by two new complete
operas.
Verdi's Fora del Destino"
Is the most substantial, in
trinsically and otherwise, of
the new Callas efforts. She
endows the role OF Leonofa
with just the breathtaking
dramatic intensity it demands.
and her vocal command is
technically faultless. Richard
Tucker over emotes as Don
Alvaro, Carlo Tagliabue's Don
Carlo sounds older than
ideally and Elena Nicolai's
Preziosilla is uninspired, but
on the whole this Is a good
performance, for which Tullio
Serafin's conducting deserves
much credit. Angel has also
recorded it well.
Callas also makes a force
ful Media in "Pagliacci." In
this Angel-Serafin-La Scala
offering, however. the Callas
contribution is offset by Giu-
seppe di Stefano's weak Canio.
and the microphone balance
is sometimes flawed. Since
practically any of the several
versions previously available is
entirely adequate. this would
seem to be mostly for Callas
fans.
For Cetra, Callas essays Vio-
letta In "Traviata" with sue
cess about on the plane Of her
Media. The trouble Is,
though, that a fragile Violetta
is what is mostly wanted
rather than a forceful one. and
Callas is altogether too robust
to fill the bill convincingly.
The rest of the performance
is more on the level of routine
than anything else. None OF
the other singers is especially
well known.
It is at this point that the
matter of rivalry enters, for a
first-class Violetta is supplied
in a new London set by Te-
baldi. Tebaldi is in the same

class as Callas as q technician,
and her voice is more con-
sistently attractive to hear.
In this set, too. there are weak
neSses, the most notable one
being the lackadaisical Alfredo
Of Gianni Poggi. which leaves
me retaining a preference for
the. old but super-animated
version Of Albanese-Peerce-
Toscanini..
Tebaldi's other effort. Puc-
cini's "Manon Lescaut." is
something else again, Here
there is fine singing all down
the line, including the des
Grieux Of Mario del Monaco,
who is fervent without being
strident, as he used to be,
rather often. Fernando Co
rena is an excellent Geronte,
and Mario Boriello a capable
Lescaut. Aside from a few
variations of recording level,
the London engineering is also
fine.
The only recorded Callas ef-
forts in the Puccini line are
some samplings from "Manon
Lescaut," Butterfly" "Bo-
heme,n "Suor Angelica" ""Gian-
nj Schicchi" and "Turandot"
on an Angel LIP. They are
sliekly done. and suggest that
more will be forthcoming. Of
which a complete "Turandot"
is perhaps most to be wished.
