Synopsis

Product Description
On Walhall 312; 2 CD's; Licia Albanese is a powerful, emotionally gut wrenching, magnificent Butterfly in this performance guided brilliantly by the gifted Dimitri Mitropoulos, whose Puccini performances in the 1950's (as well as Albanese's Butterfly) are legendary. Albanese and Mitropoulos are joined by the lyrically passionate Daniele Barioni and by the solid, oaken voice of John Brownlee. Alessio de Paolis is appropriately slimy as Goro, and Rosalind Elias is an excellent Suzuki.
