$8.95



Listen to a Sample:

 

Pros:

  • Considering that Franco Corelli would abruptly retire only a few months later, he shows that he was in still full command over his one-of-a-kind instrument.
  • A young Katia Ricciarelli is about a close to perfect as you can hope to hear in the role of Mimì.
  • Rita Shane is a gutsy Musetta, and Giorgio Tozzi's Colline nearly stops the show in Act IV.
  • Leif Segerstam excels in Puccini's idiom, bringing style, and unabashed romantic sentiment to the proceedings..

Cons:

  • None to mention
