This week at Pristine we bring together our six Maria Callas Verdi operas into a 13-CD set, complete with newly enhanced artwork for their first release in beautifully-printed full colour digipack cases.
These recordings—La Traviata (1953), La Forza del Destino (1954), Aida (1955), Rigoletto (1955), Il Trovatore (1956), and Un Ballo in Maschera (1956)—show not only the extraordinary breadth of her Verdi repertoire but also her ability to transform the way these works were understood in her time.
We also mark the passing this week of Vaughan Williams in 1958 with a special 10% discount on all his music at Pristine.
