Synopsis

Amazon.com

Birgit Nilsson's second recording of this role reflects greater mastery of the Chinese princess who beheads her failed suitors. More important, it pairs her with her famous partner/nemesis, tenor Franco Corelli. Together, they're thrillingly well matched with a welcomely edgy sense of competition. Renata Scotto is a dramatically alert presence as Liu. Another more odd distinction is the three character roles of Ping, Pang, and Pong: They have some of the loveliest music in the opera, which is rendered with unmatched expressivity and mellifluousness thanks to conductor Francesco Molinari-Pradelli. --David Patrick Stearns

CD Reviews

Caballe at her best

01/02/1999

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Granted, she may not have the dramatic fire and insight of Maria Callas, but she does possess what may arguably be the most beautiful soprano voice of the past 50 years. These recordings represent Caballe at her peak -- early 1970's -- and proves that her technical control was indeed a thing of wonder. Listen to Lady Macbeth's sleepwalking scene; this could very well be the best-sung version on record. Not to mention the gorgeous pianissimo high C at the end of "O Patria Mia." A valuable recording for fans of Caballe and of fine singing."
