Info zu Puccini: La Bohème

„This is the most sumptuous of all recorded Bohèmes, with conductor Herbert von Karajan coaxing ravishing playing and singing from the Berlin Philharmonic and his thoroughly-in-their-prime cast. He indulges in tempos that seem oddly slow at first but that soon add to the drama and make us hear Puccini’s orchestration—and drama—more clearly than ever; moreover, his cast can sing the composer’s lyric lines in long, sustained, legato breaths with ease and beauty. He doesn’t stint on the fun of the first and last acts either, with singers and players percolating with excitement. You can practically envision lavish sets. Pavarotti is in full bloom, with golden sound pouring forth and impeccable diction; vocally this Rodolfo hasn’t a worry in the world, and Pavarotti has ardor and feelings to spare. Freni is, if not the best, then surely one of the best Mimis of the last half-century; she is infinitely believable. The others are just as involved and sound just as good. This recording is a warm, loving experience.“ (Robert Levine, ClassicsToday)

“Pavarotti… is a young and ardent Rodolfo, suddenly overwhelmed by love in 'Che gelida manina'. The tone is gorgeous, the legato pilled just enough to put a lamp in your throat… Mirella Freni's Mimì is creamy in tone and as stylishly sung as ever… And has any Mimì, even Renata Tebaldi, created such heartbreak on her deathbed.” (BBC Music Magazine)

„This recording is released in 96kHz-24-bit remastered sound to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Puccini. It is also a centenary tribute to Herbert von Karajan and the presentation is certainly luxurious. The two discs come in a 300+ pages hardback book with articles about the work, this recording, Puccini, Karajan, James Lock on recording with Karajan, an obituary on Pavarotti, Pavarotti on singing La Bohème, a long essay by James Jolly on Mirella Freni and Mirella Freni on working with Karajan, which consists of extracts from the bonus CD where Mirella Freni talks to Catherine Bott. There are also biographies on the other singers, synopsis and libretto and the book is lavishly illustrated with session photos. A real deluxe issue in other words. This is one of the greatest opera recordings of all times.“ (Göran Forsling, MusicWeb International)
