Free Music Review: Second-best among de los Angeles Butterly's
Hit: 3 Stars
The faults of this Madame Butterfly, the second that de los Angeles recorded after a classic mono version in 1954, haven't prevented it from being loved. Butterfly was a signature role for the soprano, who lent it an irresistible innocence and ardent passion. No one in the modern era except Freni has sounded quite so touching. If you want her in stereo, however, you have to ut up with absurdly close miking, which makes Bjorling sound as if he's blaring out every phrase (his counterpart on the mono version is di Stefano, sounding almost as good as the incomparable Bjorling and with a more youthful tone). Santini's conducting is serviceable, although Gavazzeni is much more dramatic on the mono set. finally, the mono version has Tito Gobbi as a great Sharpless where Sereni is fairly rotine. The original CD transfer was painfully strident, but the present issue seems reasonably mellow -- I imagine the close-up miking had a sharp edge to begin with. For me, the advantage of stereo can't offset the deficits here, but to each his own.
