Giuseppe Di Stefano
Giuseppe di Stefano (1921-2008) was an Italian tenor, one of the most famous lyric tenors of the twentieth century. His voice was celebrated for its beauty, warmth and immediately recognisable Italianate ardour.
Di Stefano was closely associated with Maria Callas, with whom he made many of his most famous recordings. In the Pristine catalogue he appears in Bellini, Donizetti, Puccini, Verdi and other Italian repertory.
