A Butterfly To Break Your Heart!

(5 out of 5 stars)
"Forget Callas, DeLosAngeles, Price, Scotto, Tebaldi. This is the soprano born to sing Puccini's hapless heroine.Here we have a voice of pure gold, sumptuous and full of color. Unlike many(Tebaldi and De Los Angeles)without the top notes, or Callas who never had the sumptuous sound required, Tomowa-Sintow is Butterfly from that amazing entrance to the gut wrenching suicide. No wonder Van Karajan was crazy about her. Aragall was in his blazing vocal prime and delivers a Pinkerton to equal any tenor of the last century."
