Product Description

From Amazon.com

The bulk of this wonderful CD was recorded in l974, before the top of Scotto's voice--always a bit acidic--had turned positively treacherous. Selections from six Puccini operas, Catalani's La Wally, and Mascagni's Lodoletta and Iris find her not only in good voice, but with her usual searing insights. Never one to shirk an emotion, Scotto makes us feel for Suor Angelica and Wally in a very special way, and the other characterizations are hardly less interesting. Arias and duets from later takes--one from Carnegie Hall in '77 and others from commercial recordings up to l978--still offer good vocalism and fascinating viewpoints--Scotto's high notes may occasionally make us cringe, but she's never uninvolved or uninvolving. This is a fine intro to this complicated soprano and a must for her fans. --Robert Levine.

4.0 out of 5 stars One Of The Truly Great Aria Recitals, Sep 13 2003
By "classicalfanindc" (Washington DC) - See all my reviews
This is one of the truly great aria recitals, ever, and perhaps the greatest aria recital from the Italian repertory since Maria Callas in her 1954 EMI Puccini disc under Serafin.

Not all of the disc is at the same level. The arias from "Le Villi", "Manon Lescaut", "Suor Angelica", "La Wally", "Lodoletta", "Iris" and "Adriana Lecouvreur" should enjoy legendary status. They are exhibitions in how to present arias from the post-Verdi period. I have never heard them done as well as here.

The other items are excellent, but not quite in such a magical league. I believe it must be noted that Scotto's voice was not sufficiently opulent to do full justice to all of these arias. Occasionally more radiance is needed, especially in the "La Rondine", "La Boheme", "Gianni Schicchi" and "Madama Butterfly" selections.

This is nevertheless an essential disc for its demonstration of great artistry from a singer whose voice, in its later years, was not always up to the artistic requirements Scotto demanded of herself. Scotto has no equal among today's generation of bland vocalists.
