Hit: 5 Stars
I was looking forward to this release, since the cassette tape I purchased years ago is getting worn out--and it is also a rather condensed version. Though none of the singers are famous, their voices are certainly suited to the material. I liked the way the producers included some narrative, reminding us this was originally written for radio. The overture is brilliant, reminding one of the great neoclassic works of Prokofiev and Stravinsky. Three vocal highlights stand out--the duet between Miss Todd and Miss Pinkerton, Bob's aria "When the Air Sings of Summer," and Leticia's "What a Curse for a Woman." As far as I know, only the last of these is available on other recordings, most notably Dawn Upshaw's "Knoxville" album. The singers have excellent diction--not always a given when Americans sing Enlgish--making it easy to follow the story. My one complaint is that the liner notes did not include Menotti's comments that accompanied the cassette, which, if I recall correctly, included an apology for the sexism of the opera. The story is not PC, but it's fun.
