Il bacio di Tosca - 7 historical versions of Scarpia's murder scene"Questo è il bacio di Tosca!" - a goosebump moment like all the moments when a character in a Puccini opera has to die. However, I have many recordings where this scene is not really exciting. I have therefore chosen my favourite 6 (well, 7) interpretations. It is very interesting to hear how the different sopranos create a different character in this short scene. It goes from mad and almost lustful to absolutely terrified, from ruthless and ice-cold to exhausted and nervous - there is even one with a truly Russian temper and an thick Russian accent, but very convincing nontheless. You will find the names of the singers involved at the end of each clip. Like that, you can use the recordings as a quiz and test your ears if you like. I have to name one singer though, who is my absolute favourite in this scene: Renata Tebaldi. The audio is illustrated with historical photographs of the last century's great Toscas.

Casa Verdi.Singers' Retirement Home.1984.MILAN.FILM.Guiseppi Verdi inaugurated this purpose built villa in Milan,for retired musicians in 1901. The filming is a tastefully and sympathetically produced documentary. Director-Daniel Schmid. Sara Scuderi,retired soprano,is included in my random clips. In the closing minutes she listens to a recording of her Vissi d' arte ,1928. Her debut was in 1925,as Desdemona in Verdi's Otello. Born 1906,Catania. Died 1987. Verdi insisted that this villa was not a Nursing Home,but a place of security,dignity, companionship,and comfort for those musicians no longer practising professionally. For a number of years the famous mezzo-soprano Giulietta Simionato was President of the Board of the Casa Verdi. A wonderful film,which is now available on EMI Classics-- 'Tosca's Kiss.Il Bacio di Tosca'. 85 minutes with optional subtitles in English,German,French and Spanish.
