5.0 out of 5 stars an excellent live performance, February 15, 2001

This review is from: Verdi: La Traviata / Muti, Teatro alla Scala (Audio CD)

This is a live performance recording held together with incredible skill by Riccardo Muti, and wonderfully sung by everyone in the cast. Tiziana Fabbricini is a very emotional Violetta. One really feels she's dying more of a broken heart than of consumption. Though her "sound" isn't the most beautiful ever, she makes up for it with her dramatic talents, giving us a delicate and moving interpretation. Roberto Alagna is excellent as Alfredo, as is Paolo Coni's Papa Germont.

Probably the most richly melodic of all Verdi's operas, with a great heroine who is a "bad woman" by the standards of society, it's an irresistible 2 hours and 15 minutes of music.

This recording was taken from 4 performances at the Teatro alla Scala in March and April of '92. You get to hear the applause, and an occasional cough, but there is the energy, excitement, and the "now" feeling that puts you "there". It's a great cast, and as for Maestro Muti, the man is an absolute marvel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wrong cover, September 6, 2007

By 

Filippo Secondo - See all my reviews

This review is from: Verdi: La Traviata / Muti, Teatro alla Scala (Audio CD)

The misleading customer image is that of the 2003 reissue (slime line and without booklet), not the original 1993 jewel-box release, which contains the libretto, and whose cover features captions from the Scala production. This error is evident from: the issue date (1993), pre-2003 customer reviews (from 1999 onwards), the price (the re-release version costs around 16, not 33, bucks), as well as the Marketplace sellers' references to 'box', 'jewel case', and 'booklet'.

Don't buy this one. It has been rereleased in Europe by Sony at half the price.
