Music reviews of Puccini: Madama Butterfly (complete opera) with Maria Callas, Lucia Danieli, Nicolai Gedda, Herbert von Karajan, Chorus & Orchestra of La Scala, Milan
Music Review: Pleurez, pleurez mes yeux...
Rating: 5 Stars
I've seen/heard Madame Butterfly many times (fully stage, concert form, and recordings), sung by other good, principal singers; none of them comes close to how great this one is. Callas elevates Cio-Cio San and the opera to an ideal (my ideal) form of drama. I'm also very amazed by how she's able to portray the character development so well with nothing but her voice! She does it here just as well as she did in Tosca (1953 recording). Her phrasing is very captivating; she creates an eloquent and poised Cio-Cio San, and you can't help but empathize with that fragile, little and betrayed butterfly that she is, and your heart trembles along with hers in her captive state. So much hope and so much loss. The tragic end is heartbreaking and disarmingly beautiful at the same time. At the end, it leaves you in a weird sort of melancholic state: heartbroken, wet-eyed, but also incredulously amazed and happy about this great achievement in art (music in general and the recording of it)...most notably by Callas and of course, by the genius of Puccini.
