Puccini: Madama Butterfly
Stella, Barioni, Di Stasio, Lidonni, Carlin; Erede
Torino, 1965
$9.95
Description:
Antonietta Stella truly stands among the greatest Cio-Cio Sans of all time. While many sopranos have flirted with the role only to retreat from it early in their careers, Stella embraced it as a central pillar of her repertoire. Her performance is astonishing—she captures the innocence of a 15-year-old while unleashing the kind of vocal power more commonly associated with *Turandot*. Daniele Barioni is equally compelling as Pinkerton, his voice striking a perfect balance between lyricism and heft. Though he never rose to the top tier of operatic stardom, none other than Mario Del Monaco praised him, saying, “You are the most beautiful tenor voice of our day.”
