For some unfathomable reason the official discography was always rather indifferent to Magda Olivero, one of the most popular and admired singers of the 1900s, and quite a phenomenon as far as artistic longevity and mastery of interpretation. Time, however, did the Piedmontese soprano justice: thanks to her flawless technique and constant practising, in 1994, at the distinguished age of eighty-three, she was able to stun the world of opera with a recording of excerpts from her favourite work, Adriana Lecouverur. This double CD set features a rare and wonderful live recording of Tosca in which Oliviero shows all of her artistic sensitivity. Her personal interpretation of the Puccini heroine is completely different from that, highly celebrated, of Maria Callas, yet equally convincing. A double-CD every opera lover ought to have in their library.
