Anita Cerquetti - Recital Anita Cerquetti (soprano)
Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, Gianandrea Gavazzeni
A glorious rarity from Cerquetti, a great Italian dramatic soprano who left the stage too early. Has Bellini’s ‘Casta diva’ ever been spun so effortlessly or the ‘Pace’ from Forza sung with... — More…

RecommendedRenata Tebaldi, Mario del Monaco, Ettore Bastianini, Giulietta Simionato, Cesare Siepi, Silvio Maionica, Gabriella Carturan & Piero di Palma
