Editorial Reviews

Mascagni never again achieved the fame that came his way with Cavalleria Rusticana, that nasty little piece of verismo composing that helped set the tone for a whole movement in opera. But his lesser-known L'Amico Fritz, best called a bucolic romance, is a wonderful, lyrical work with a lot to offer. When this was recorded in 1968, both Pavarotti and Freni were 33 years old and at the start of their international careers. Both are in perfect voice; fresh, bright-sounding, involved, fearless at all registers and dynamic levels. Pavarotti in particular is winning, tossing off high notes with ease, singing with perfect legato, scaling his voice down to an intimate level when needed. If you don't know this opera, you're in for a treat--especially with this recording. --Robert Levine

5.0 out of 5 stars A lovely, beautiful opera...and nobody dies! :), May 29, 2000
I am a one woman advocate for this opera. Regularly performed in Italy, it has a sincere and unaffected charm and beauty all its own. The music is uplifting and like a breath of summer. There are also many dramatic moments, the aria "Non mi resta" is filled with anguish. And the moment when they realize they love each other has the ebullience and joy of true love. Then when her theme from the aria "Son Pochi Fiori" comes in after their love duet, it is the perfect moment of love's fullfillment. There are so many wonderful moments in this opera. Suzel's duet with the "meddling" Rabbi "Facea si Vecchio Abramo" is so sweet and sincere. The "Cherry Duet" is breathtaking, and you'll never hear a better rendition. Freni and Pavarotti are in great voice here- young and fearless. A must buy for any true opera fan!
