Description

|
|
|
No kings and queens, no courtesans, no personages from history or myth: just four young, impoverished lovers trying to make it in the big city. Story and music mix sublimely in this ever-popular opera by a master of melody and sentiment, performed here live by an exceptional conductor and quartet of lead singers. Contains libretto in English and Italian. "Spano has developed into an insightful conductor who brings depth and perceptiveness to his readings…. This is a wonderfully well-rounded and finely crafted performance that leaves nothing to be desired. Helping him realize this is the magnificent cast…. Among the many highlights of this recording is Rodolfo's tender 'Che gelida manina' and Musetta's 'Quando men vo soletta per la via' ('Musetta's Waltz')…. However, the absolute high points of this performance are the poignant duet between Rodolfo and Mimi at the end of Act 3, and the heart-wrenching closing scene of Act 4. These two moments are worth the price of this album."—Deseret News
