5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent singing by a neglected artist, July 12, 2002

By	madamemusico "madamemusico" (Cincinnati, Ohio USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

Highly feted in her day, soprano Lucrezia Bori went into a serious decline in popularity following her retirement. By the 1960s she was strictly in the province of specialty collectors, not nearly as well-remembered as Ponselle, Muzio or Flagstad.

Though she did not possess a voice that incredible, but rather a smallish instrument, she was a singer of surprising musicality for that era and great variety. Not all of her records are fabulous--indeed, it is perhaps because she was a famous Violetta but her "Sempre libera" is so disappointing that she became forgotten so quickly--but in the great majority of them one hears a singer and artist of great imagination, musicality and control, singing with a bright but not grating tone and excellent phrasing. Highly recommended, especially to those who do not mind the sound of old records.
