Music reviews of Puccini - La Boh?me / Freni, Pavarotti, Harwood, Ghiaurov, KarajanMusic Review: As good as it getsThis recording hardly needs another 5 star review, but after becoming reacquainted with it today I must offer my two cents. Pavarotti and Freni, in their vocal primes, give heartfelt performances that capture all the joy, melancholy, sadness and nostalgia that is this opera. But just as importantly, Herbert von Karajan's highly pictorial conducting allows the orchestra to become as much a participant as the principal singers. Except for short crowd scenes in Act II, this is a small scaled, very human work and the lush sound of the Berlin Philharmonic might be an obstacle to some listeners, but rest assured under von Karajan the orchestra plays as nimbly as a string quartet. Although Elizabeth Harwood might not be everyone's first choice as Musetta she's plenty good enough. This has to be one of the very finest performances of this work ever recorded.
