CD Reviews

Probably the best Traviata ever recorded in studio

khelgeo | Des Plaines, Il USA | 12/12/2000

(5 out of 5 stars)

"What's so outstanding about this recording? And why people should even listen to Renata Scotto's Violetta when Maria Callas was on stage and probably Violetta was Callas's one of the best roles? This recording shows why. I prefer Renata Scotto's Violetta, because her voice is clearer than anybody's else, however it is not dramatic enough. But I think that her voice is dramatic enough for Violetta. And I can tell you, I've never heard anybody having so fantastic, brilliant and full of light top register as Renatta Scotto has. Listen to the top E-flat at the end of the firt act. Isn't it outstanding? It makes you cry. But the best performer on the CD is not Renatta Scotto. THE BEST AMONG THE BEST is Ettore Bastianini. His dramatic voice siuts Germont's role to perfection. Listening to the singing of Bastianini, can you imagine that the performer is only about 40 years old. He's voice makes the impression of him being at least 60-65. Oh, how I love his voice, his singing. He is unbelievable. Especcialy his high notes in "Di Provenza" are marvelous. I think Rigoletto, Germont and Amonasro, Figaro siuts Bastianini's voice to perfection. These are his roles. Nobody can even chalange him. Unfortunately I haven't heard him singing Tonio in "Pagliacci". I can guess how great he would be in this role. And finally what a gentle tenor: Gianni Raimondi. His voice is really perfect for Alfredo. He is great on this CD. I really love this recording. Maybe this is the best ever studio recording of Traviata."

Bravissima La Scotto!!!!

"This recording of La Traviata is easy to pass by, but please don't. It's an unbelievably moving experience. Renata Scotto in her absolute prime sings like a choir of angels, her Violetta is a real person, so touching, so finely drawn that it's impossible to fault, singing like this comes only once every hundred years."

None better

"This all-Italian La Traviata is the most satisfying and moving recording of this great opera inspite of the usual theatre cuts. Of course Renata Scotto is peerless in the title role. Since this recording was made, no other Violetta can touch her, she is in a class of her own. Gianni Raimondi is a good, unexceptional Alfredo and Ettore Bastianini reminds us what a unique voice he had. This excellent team works very well together. The sound is very good."
