Tullio Serafin, director

"The Nile scene has never been performed more powerfully and characterfully than on this vintage LA Scala set. Though Callas is hardly as sweet-toned as some will think essential for an Aida, her imagination is irresistable and she is matched by Tito Gobbi at the very height of his powers. Tucker gives one of his very finest performances on records, and Barbieri is a commanding Amneris."
