Tito Gobbi
Tito Gobbi was an Italian baritone, one of the great singing actors of twentieth-century opera. He was especially admired in Verdi, Puccini, Leoncavallo and Italian dramatic repertory.
In the Pristine catalogue he appears extensively with Maria Callas, including Donizetti, Puccini, Leoncavallo and Verdi recordings from the 1950s.
Gobbi’s singing combined verbal intelligence, theatrical bite and a baritone voice capable of menace...
