Puccini: La Bohème - Ricciarelli, Corelli, Shane, Walker, Christopher, Tozzi, Franke; Segerstam. 1975
$8.95
Description:
Franco Corelli, considering his abrupt retirement only months later, demonstrates that he was still in full command of his unique instrument. Katia Ricciarelli, in her youth, delivers a near-perfect portrayal of Mimì. Rita Shane offers a gutsy interpretation of Musetta, while Giorgio Tozzi's Colline provides a performance so compelling that it nearly steals the show in Act IV. Leif Segerstam excels in Puccini’s idiom, bringing both style and unabashed romantic sentiment to the performance.
