Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
A thoughtful ensemble cast stars in this tender, introspective reading of La Bohème, and maestro David Parry ekes all of the emotionalism out of the opera's sadder moments. One might ask for more rambunctious comedy in the light scenes, especially those featuring Musetta--although Marie McLaughlin certainly sings beautifully enough--but then again, we might not be able to understand the words as well if the cast were allowed to run free. As it stands, Dennis O'Neill is an ardent Rodolfo missing only some sheer loveliness of sound, Cynthia Haymon's Mimi is handsomely sung and quite moving, and Alan Opie's Marcello is the good friend to Rodolfo. In short, a nice, believable La Bohème and complement to the best-known recorded version of Puccini's beloved masterpiece. --Robert Levine
