The two Toscas are different. There seems to be a bit more Callas in the Carter White House performance.
Tosca is one of my recommended first operas for those uninitiated to the genre (another is Le Nozze di Figaro). Tosca is great stage craft, wonderful music (thank you Puccini!), plus it has the plot advantage that you know the opera is over when the last of the principles is dead. 
This is Tosca's kiss! Poor Scarpia doesn't make through the second act. He dies with a butter knife plunged through his chest. Thanks to Tosca.
