Description:
100th anniversary of Puccini's death. 50th anniversary of the first release. Masterful recording of the opera by the best cast and conductor. Luciano Pavarotti, the Italian tenor superstar and Decca's resident artist for 40 years; Mirella Flenni, a soprano also from Italy and a lifelong friend of Pavarotti; and Herbert von Karajan, the legendary Austrian conductor. Three world-renowned artists have collaborated to create an incomparably beautiful musical world in Puccini's "Madama Butterfly". This is the second release in the Puccini reissue series, commemorating the 100th anniversary of Puccini's death and the 50th anniversary of its first release. Limited edition. Newly remastered from the original tapes at 24-bit/192kHz. Includes a new essay by internationally renowned opera critic Roger Pines; a special contribution on Mirella Flenni; a special contribution on Puccini, Pavarotti, and "Madama Butterfly" by rising tenor Fredi De Tomaso; a reproduction of the original 1975 booklet ( Includes a collectible poster (A4 size) of "Madama Butterfly" in the style of the 1920s. "[Karajan] drew from singers and orchestra a brilliant performance that revealed all the beauty and power of Puccini's score. Sweet but not sentimental, very dramatic but refined.Frényi is an enchanting Madame Butterfly, constantly enhancing her reputation. ...... Pavarotti is a very imaginative Pinkerton."--The Penguin Guide (Classical Recordings) I doubt if this score will ever again be heard so sumptuously and so magnificently performed in an opera house.
