Editorial Reviews

On Cantus Classics 500795; 2 CD's; Butterfly was one of Albanese's greatest roles, one which she imbued with strong voice and powerful expression. This live performance captures her at her best in a role which she never recorded in the studio. She is ably supported by Lucille Browning as a solid Suzuki, Armand Tokatyan as a vibrant, exciting Pinkerton, and John Brownlee as a rich voiced, highly involved Sharpless. Gennaro Papi keeps the proceedings moving from the podium!! Not to be missed.
