with Tito Gobbi
'The interpretation is more important than the beautiful sound, but take care of the beautiful sound.'
So says Tito Gobbi, world-renowned baritone, who at one stage in his career had 137 roles in his repertoire. In a conversation with Harold Rosenthal, he talks about some of these roles, among them Scarpia, Figaro in Rossini's opera, Simone Boccanegra, and Iago in Verdi's Otello.
