Free Music Review: Wonderful Bocelli sings La Boheme
Hit: 5 Stars

Bocelli first performed the role of Rodolfo - in February 1998 in Cagliai, the capital of Sardinia. Bocelli described it as a "dream come true" both critics and the public agreed with him for his performance was hailed as a triumphant success. Bocelli was described as being supremely suitable for the role by Lorenzo Marian, the director of the production he states that "Rodolfo was a poet, young, sincere, and ambitious but tender, and this is just like Bocelli himself - he described him as the most credible Rodolfo of recent years."

"Bocelli displays a sense of romance and melody that exalts the very essence of bohemian Rodolfo", quote from Franco Corelli, Bocelli's teacher and one of the greatest Rodolfos of the twentieth century himself.

Bocelli said that it was very important to perform an opera live on stage before recording it. He says "You learn so many necessary things. In the studio it's a different matter because you stop and start - and it's possible to look for a kind of perfection you can't get on stage. You never find it of course he adds but at least you can look for it!"

Bocelli has an innate musicianship that feels the inner rhythmic beat of the conductor and as soon as he feels him expanding a phrase, he follows it. Andrea never skips a beat, like some do in a performance.

La Boheme ranks with Carmen and La Traviata as one of the most performed pieces of music-drama ever written.

La Boheme tells the story of the doomed love of Rodolfo (a poet) and Mimi, (a seamstress.

In one of the most beautiful and powerful arias ever written Rodolfo tells Mimi of his life as a poet, of his ambitions and his attraction to her.

This is Bocelli at his most moving and shows what a deep thinker he is. He draws upon all his inner resources and one could cry at this aria it is so beautiful.

I cannot agree with some of the negative comments posted on La Boheme and would say to anyone who loves good music, listen to it and you will not be

Puccini - La Bohème Poster

The either-love-him-or-hate-him tenor sensation Andrea Bocelli fulfills his lifelong dream of recording Puccini's rapturous La Bohème, thereby affording fans (who may have previously shunned opera) access to this magical art form. A fragile vulnerability graces Bocelli's Rodolfo. His tenor's tearful tenderness always seems one step away from breaking, but it never does; he always delivers. Instead of opening his throat and letting the voice ride the wave of the breath, Bocelli unabashedly throws his voice towards the high notes. And it works! The sound is light, nasal, and effortlessly produced, and the money notes at his tenor's top expand as vividly as a hot-air balloon. Like a pop singer, Bocelli leans on the middle voice. What he lacks in phrasing, he makes up for through his commitment to passion. Conductor Zubin Mehta's sensitive orchestra teases, expands, frolics, and enriches, frequently upstaging the singers with his rich orchestral emotion. Barbara Frittoli is a vocal battleship, bringing an unpleasantly thick and wobbly soprano to the role of the frail Mimì and frequently submerging Bocelli under steely vocal heft. Her Mimì is not the maker of delicate flowers, but the person who stomps on them when they've accidentally fallen to the floor. Bocelli is not the greatest Rodolfo on record. But if this recording creates a new generation of Puccini lovers, it may be his greatest musical contribution. --Barbara Eisner Bayer
