Puccini: La Bohème
Te Kanawa, Pavarotti, Allen, Harling, Van Allen; Stapleton
London, 1976
$9.95
Description:
This performance of La bohème features a young Kiri Te Kanawa, whose blooming soprano brings extra warmth and tenderness to the role of Mimì. Luciano Pavarotti, as Rodolfo, confirms that his soaring reputation was rooted in more than publicity—his singing is vibrant, lyrical, and emotionally immediate.
Thomas Allen is an ardent and charismatic Marcello, while Richard Van Allen lends Colline a grounded, sincere presence. Together, the cast forms a well-balanced ensemble that captures both the intimacy and heartbreak of Puccini's score.
The sound lacks clarity at times, but the vocal performances shine through nonetheless.
