Description
Pavarotti's version of La Bohème with Mirella Freni was featured in an Gramophone article called "Ten of the best—the essential operas," which discussed great recordings of some of the most-performed masterpieces. His singing in Puccini's Madama Butterfly (which stars Freni as Cio Cio San) is so beautiful you forget for a time that Pinkerton is such a cad. But it's not all about this celebrated pairing: the CD offers the ravishing "Flower Duet," the "Humming Chorus," and much more.
"The classic pairing of Freni and Pavarotti, offering deluxe Italianate vocalism."—American Record Guide
