Victoria de los Angeles, John Lanigan, Barbara Howitt, Geraint Evans, David Tree, Michael Langdon, Joyce Livingstone, David Allen, Ronald Firmager & Harry Gawler The Covent Garden Opera Chorus & The Covent Garden Orchestra, Rudolf Kempe Recorded on 2 May 1957 (mono) Victoria de los Angeles first sang Cio-cio-san at Covent Garden in 1951 under Warwick Braithwaite. The Times review said, "Her voice has a luscious bloom to it, inherently ideal for the music in which Puccini clothes his gentle heroines.” As a reviewer for Opera wrote in June 1957, “the promise of a Madama Butterfly with Victoria de los Angeles had whetted everyone’s expectations, and the event fulfilled them.” He continued “Her typically “instrumental” purity of timbre, so surely controlled, implied the right virginal simplicity, and the radiant confidence of “Un bel dì” very properly won an ovation. Her tone clove the orchestra at its loudest without apparent effort, never straining, always rich and cherished.” | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
