Maria Callas - Lucia - The Lost Recordings - A Journey To Opera

Today we'll take a look at the beautiful new release of a treasured live performance of Donizetti's Lucia Di Lammermoor, recorded in 1955 in Berlin, with Maria Callas, De Stefano and Karajan. It was recently restored for the first time from the original master tape by The Lost Recordings, a company in France that specializes in bringing top notch unreleased recordings to life.
The tape was found in an archive, and was restored and mastered by Phoenix Mastering, with the lacquers cut by Kevin Gray.
In this video I take you on my personal journey to appreciating opera, and describe how this set won my heart.

Thank you to The Lost Recordings for providing a reviewer's copy of this set to The Pressing Matters
