Verdi: La Traviata / Monteux, Carteri, Valletti, et al

Notes & Reviews:

This 1956 'Traviata' departed from the usual formula in that the conductor chosen was Pierre Monteux, an eminent figure in the field of French music during the first half of the 20th century, who was not normally associated with Italian opera, having conducted only a handful of operas. It is not immediately apparent why he took on this particular assignment, although the outcome is remarkably successful.
