Giuseppe Verdi - La Traviata (Renata Scotto, Gianni Raimondi, Scala 1962)2CD - Italian - 66:40min. & 51:35min.
Recorded 7/1962, released 1993
. . . she certainly has the full measure of Violetta. Her wonderfully natural way with the language contrasts tellingly with some of the non-Italian divas who have essayed this part over the years . . . Antonio Votto conducts this splendid account of "The woman who went astray" . . . this is a connoisseurs' "Traviata". The sound is remarkably clear. Record Review
