Product Description
CD83709 Leoncavallo: EDIPO RE - RAI Torino 1939
Ruggero Leoncavallo EDIPO RE Opera in un atto Libretto di Giovacchino Forzano dalla tragedia di Sofocle
Edipo Mario Basiola Giocasta Rina Corsi Creonte Ettore Parmeggiani Un corinto Giuseppe Bravura Teresia Luciano Neroni Un pastore Armando Giannotti
Coro e orchestra sinfonico di Torino della RAI Giuseppe Podestā
Recording: 13th October 1939
The source was an audiocassette with only "Basiola" handwritten on it. I do not know how I managed to get the whole cast about twelve years ago ... As far as we know the first staged production of EDIPO Re in Europe took place in Siena (September 1958). But that does not mean that there could not have been a concert performance or a recording earlier. About the same time of the staged production in Siena (~ 1958 - 1960) Nello Santi conducted a recording for Swiss Radio with Ernst Gutstein as Edipo. This recording sounds older than fifty years, and I am quite sure that I would recognize Gutstein if he was the king in this case. Perhaps somebody from the group could help if it is not the cast as given above.
One folder with mp3-file (320 kbps) + cuesheet. Artwork included.

We sell only opera recordings. The recordings are sent to you in paper sleeves with no tray card or inserts, just the raw discs with printed labels. These recordings are of nonprofessional quality that are in the public domain. The quality of these old opera recordings is not very good and they are meant for collectors and educational purposes only. Most of them are 30 or 40 years old, so they might be blurry, colors faded, and not sound very good, but they might not be available elsewhere. Please note that most of our recordings do not have tracks, they have 1 long track per disc.
