CD Reviews

Excellent singing by a neglected artist

madamemusico | Cincinnati, Ohio USA | 07/13/2002

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Highly feted in her day, soprano Lucrezia Bori went into a serious decline in popularity following her retirement. By the 1960s she was strictly in the province of specialty collectors, not nearly as well-remembered as Ponselle, Muzio or Flagstad.Though she did not possess a voice that incredible, but rather a smallish instrument, she was a singer of surprising musicality for that era and great variety. Not all of her records are fabulous--indeed, it is perhaps because she was a famous Violetta but her "Sempre libera" is so disappointing that she became forgotten so quickly--but in the great majority of them one hears a singer and artist of great imagination, musicality and control, singing with a bright but not grating tone and excellent phrasing. Highly recommended, especially to those who do not mind the sound of old records."
