$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
In Mono
