Music reviews of Puccini: La Boheme (Highlights) / Bergonzi, Tebaldi, et al

Music Review: The Most Beautiful Puccini Recording Ever Made
Rating: 5 Stars

The 1950's gave us the only two possible choices for this much recorded opera. The first is the legendary recording of Sir Thomas Beecham with Jussi Bjoerling and Victoria De Los Angeles. The other is the complete version reviewed here, the most beautifully sung and recorded Puccini performance ever. Bergonzi, as usual, sings with a presence and intelligence that suggests much more than an echo chamber between the ears - unlike so many others. Tullio Serafin, then 78 years old, brings a warmth and beauty to the orchestral playing that is unmatched, and the bit parts contain great singers like Corena and Bastianini. Top all of this off with Renata Tebaldi as Mimi, here making the most beautiful sound ever to come from a human throat. This is a recording that still sounds fresh after more than 40 years, and remains the primary choice over many fine rivals.
