Mirella Freni / Christa Ludwig / Luciano Pavarotti
Puccini: Madama Butterfly (3CD)
“…[no one] could come close to Decca’s sound in emphasizing realistic balances between the soloists and orchestra … This sumptuously casted performance undoubtedly has the best singing of any Madama Butterfly recording … Pavarotti was in a class by himself at this point in his career … The final scene is overwhelming … this is probably the best-sounding Madama Butterfly ever recorded.” - Fanfare
Mirella Freni (Butterfly), Luciano Pavarotti (Pinkterton), Christa Ludwig (Suzuki), Robert Kerns (Sharpless) Vienna State Opera Chorus, Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, Herbert von Karajan
