5 out of 5 stars The best opera album ever.......2007-01-26

I have listened this album almost every day for the past 4 years. For begginers and amateurs in this kind of music, the album rocks in every song with the exception of track 2 and 5.

5 out of 5 stars Beautiful Music, Nice price.......2007-01-04

I purchased this CD for my daughter while searching specifically for arias. She was very pleased and I find myself enjoying it as well.
A wonderful collection for a terrific price, super fast shipping too- as always.

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 out of 5 stars Fine selection of arias from the verismo period.......2007-05-03

If you like music from the "verismo" period you will not be disappointed.

Perfect for much of this genre, Scotto is able to communicate emotion, strength, and vulnerability with great vocal control. "Flammen perdonami" from Lodoletta by Mascagni is a fine example.

Sometimes their is some ugliness in her voice, though, and this lets Scotto down, for example, in the showpiece from La Rondine.

Also the final duet from Adriana Lecouvrer ends album rather weakly.

The artists should be commended for including so many verismo rarities and overall this is a pretty fine achievement

5 out of 5 stars Scotto: the greatest gift .......2006-09-30

Since the first time I heard Scotto, I found on her the warmth, devotion and passioned interpretation of all the roles she performed. By much, this is one of my most beloved records, since Scotto demonstrates that, beyond the technique, an opera singer must act. The voice reflects in every note, in every phrase, all the emotions contained.

Absolutelly splendid!

5 out of 5 stars a thinking man's singer.......2005-08-15

The older I get the more I appreciate Scotto the singer. Her musicianship was always apparent, always admired. Yet she may have been underestimated as a singer. Her embodiment of the intense inner life of the characters she portrayed is rightfully legendary, but I've come to believe a great part of that perfect passion is the singing, as much as her gifts as an actor and interpreter. The voice itself is rarely perfect, but still beautiful; especially in the first half of her career, the top of her voice fashioned a world of its own, and left nothing wanting. So many fine singers today make a kind of perfect product, yet often fall short of leaving an enduring art of earthly grief and passion. They fly high but often forsake the humanist aesthetic central to operatic art. Scotto plumbs that passion in so much of her singing, and wonderful example of that is found than in these arias. She lets her instrument and her musicianship create the intimate space between singing and acting, never imposing an arbitrary idea around either. Her 'Sola, perduta, Abbandonata' is one of the best versions I've heard. She gifts 'Mio babbino caro' with unhurried beauty. She's a great verismo singer, as was Ileana Cotrubas, though few enough mention either artist nowadays. This disc is a perfect introduction to the art of Renata Scotto.

4 out of 5 stars One Of The Truly Great Aria Recitals.......2003-09-14

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.

5 out of 5 stars Singing as good as it gets.......2001-04-02

Record companies have always been run by not-too-clever people. I can't believe they banned Renata Scotto from the mid 1960's till this recital was made in 1974. In this recital the unforgettable diva gives masterclasses in the art of singing. If you want pretty sounds look for Caballe, but if you want to feel Suor Angelica's pain or Manon Lescaut's despair this is for you.

    4 out of 5 stars A nice collection of Puccini heroines.......2000-09-22

    Puccini loves his heroines and gives them the most gorgeous music in his operas. This very nice compilation album offers all famous arias of Puccini's heroines except "Signor, Ascolta" from Turandot . The singers are very good. All arias sung by Kiri Te Kanawa are from her recital album with Sir John Pitchard, including her signature pieces, "O mio babino caro" and "Ch'il bel sogno di Doretta". Scotto is very moving as Butterfly and Suor Angelica. Her "Tu, tu, piccolo iddio" and"Senza mamma, o bimbo" will break your heart. The weak link here is Eva Marton, good Turandot and Tosca but obviously miscasted as Mimi and Liu. Her voice is too dramatic for these fragile heroines.

    4 out of 5 stars Beautiful renditions of Puccini arias.......1999-10-30

    These great divas bring out the best in the romantic and splendid music that Puccini composed. The orchestral arrangements are just as they should be and not over done. Overall, a great recording.

      5 out of 5 stars Fantastic..........2000-10-16

      I cannot believe this CD is being sold at bargain price. It has some beautiful recordings. I love Domingo's Una Furtiva Lagrima even better than Pavarotti's on the London Label. Domingo has a better conductor, Sir John Pritchard. Te Kanawa is awesome, but the orchestra is too distant in that Maazel recording of Don Giovanni. Scotto's Casta Diva is great with a more balanced recorded sound, even if Joan Sutherland reaches higher notes. Cortubas and Wixell are, of course, great artists too. The whole CD is a steal. It would have been nice to have had a little more Mozart on this CD, but you can only fit so much on one disc. Sony has some real gems in their collection which too often gets overlooked because they don't have the glamour of Deutsche Grammophon or Philips. Buy this CD...don't hesitate.

      5 out of 5 stars Buy this!.......2006-07-29

      This was an impulse buy for me, mainly because I love Renata Scotto and the item is cheap. I expected bad sound quality, but I was pleasantly surprised! It's not as bad as I expected and completely listenable. All these recordings date from before 1970, so you can be sure that Scotto is in fine form. Scotto is a true vocal actress. Her dramatic instincts in these live performances is spectacular as is her astonishing technique. She floats wonderful pianissimi and spins endless legato phrases in such a heavenly way. Especially gripping is the "Libera Me". She fully realizes the dramatic possibilities of it, unlike many sopranoes who simply sing it beautifully. The I Lombardi is also available in a complete set, which I highly recommend. Buy that and buy this one too, you can't go wrong!
