La Bohème - CD

Giacomo Puccini: Puccini: La Boheme Wersja na 2CD w standardowe wydanie. Ta konkretna edycja została wydana w Niemcy w wydawnictwie Naxos Historical dnia 8. marca 2007.

This edition brings together for the first time Sir Thomas Beecham's pre- and post-war recordings of Bohemia and his spoken commentary on the work, taken from a promotional LP issued at the time of the complete recording. Beecham knew Puccini personally and discussed La Boheme at length with him in London in the 1920s. The 1956 set, featuring Victoria de los Angeles and Jussi Björling in fine form, ranks alongside Callas's De Sabato's Tosca (Naxos 8.110256-57) as one of the finest studio recordings of the opera ever made. On its first UK release, a reviewer for The Gramophone remarked that 'Beecham's ability to bring music to life is indescribable....one falls headlong in love with opera all over again'."

Album sięga do gatunku Muzyka klasyczna, Romantyzm i Opera.
