About Antonino Votto

  • Antonino Votto (30 October 1896 - 9 September 1985) was an Italian operatic conductor and vocal coach.
  • Votto developed an extensive discography with the Teatro alla Scala in Milan during the 1950s, when EMI produced the bulk of its studio recordings featuring Maria Callas.
  • Though Votto was a dependable conductor (and the teacher of Riccardo Muti), critics frequently faulted his recordings for their lack of emotional immediacy.
  • This may have been an occupational hazard of working in the studio, as his live sets with Callas, including a Norma (December 1955, La Scala) and La sonnambula (1957, Cologne) are considered to be great performances.
  • Among his pupil was soprano Claudia Pinza Bozzolla.
