He had just written me about his enthusiasm for the Rosanna Carteri episode I posted in the fall of 2020 on the occasion of her death, just a few short weeks before her 90th birthday. Thom and I were both equally taken with this long-lived artist, who abandoned her performing career in 1966 when she was only 35 years old, brought her full-throated voice and impeccable artistry to operatic stages around the world for fifteen exceptional years. Carteri\u2019s was a lyric yet full-bodied voice with facility that allowed her to undertake soubrette parts as well as some <em>spinto<\/em> roles. I feature extended examples of her versatility over the course of that entire career, including excerpts from <em>La traviata<\/em>, <em>La boh\u00e8me<\/em>, <em>La rondine<\/em>, <em>Guglielmo Tell<\/em>, <em>Falstaff<\/em>, <em>L\u2019elisir d\u2019amore<\/em>, <em>Madama Butterfly<\/em>, <em>Rom\u00e9o et Juliette<\/em>, <em>Otello<\/em>, Pietro Mascagni\u2019s <em>L\u2019amico Fritz<\/em> and <em>Iris<\/em>, Prokofiev\u2019s <em>War and Peace<\/em> (the final version of which she created in Florence in 1954), the premiere recording of Poulenc\u2019s <em>Gloria<\/em> and Gilbert B\u00e9caud\u2019s <em>Op\u00e9ra d\u2019Aran<\/em> (which she premiered in Paris in 1962). These operas represent just a fraction of her repertoire, in which are featured, among others, Giuseppe di Stefano, Nicolai Gedda, Leonard Warren, Carlo Bergonzi, Ettore Bastianini, Ferruccio Tagliavini, Giuseppe Taddei, Cesare Valletti, and Giuseppe Gismondo and conductors Tullio Serafin, Pierre Monteux, Vittorio Gui, Georges Pr\u00eatre, Gabriele Santini, and Artur Rodzinski. In other words, the <em>cr\u00e8me de la cr\u00e8me <\/em>of the operatic firmament in the 1950s and 1960s, in which company Carteri most emphatically belonged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:47px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"944\" src=\"https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Radio-and-TV-Magazine.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5981\" srcset=\"https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Radio-and-TV-Magazine.jpg 740w, https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Radio-and-TV-Magazine-235x300.jpg 235w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:51px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-custom-size\" style=\"font-size:30px\"><strong> RECORDINGS HEARD IN THIS EPISODE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:55px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"578\" height=\"368\" src=\"https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Opera-dAran-premiere.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6002\" srcset=\"https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Opera-dAran-premiere.jpg 578w, https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Opera-dAran-premiere-300x191.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 578px) 100vw, 578px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Gilbert B\u00e9caud, Margherita Wallman, Rosanna Carteri, and Serge Baudo at the premiere of the <em>Op\u00e9ra<\/em> <em>d\u2019Aran<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Gilbert B\u00e9caud, Louis Amade, Jacques Emmanuel, Pierre Delano\u00eb: Air de Maureen (<em>Op\u00e9ra d\u2019Aran<\/em>).
