ratings a matter of perspective
As a tenor, I found it refreshing to hear someone new. I found the booklet helpful. I just finished an opera gala where I had the opportunity to sing the 3rd act of La Boheme. This recording helped me to learn it and I felt that the quality of sound was great! I felt that all the voices were nicely done, with perhaps a few flaws. The drawback in the whole recording...

A refreshing alternative
I found this recording to be a refreshing alternative to the plethora of Mirella Freni and/or Pavarotti versions. Yes, there are flaws, such as occasionally uneven performances from Rodolfo and Musetta, but Kiri Te Kanawa's Mimi more than made up for any weak spots, in my opinion.

This recording helped me to learn it and I felt that the quality of sound was great! I felt that all the voices were nicely done, with perhaps a few flaws. The drawback in the whole recording was that in spots of the music, it almost sounded like a faint male voice humming along with Kanawa. However, her voice was beautiful.

Lovely, July 22, 2005
This review is from: Puccini: La Boheme (Audio CD)
I'm am very pleased with this purchase. The singing is very good, especially Te Kanawa and Leech. Te Kanawa sounds half her age and Leech sounds very Italian. As far as Nancy Gustafson as Musetta, there is a little bit of wear at the top of her voice but it is not distracting.
