This disc does not deserve to be included in the "Philips 50"--supposedly a selection of some of the finest recordings to have appeared on the label during the past 50 years.
Where previously the famous opening number had the right sense of inexorability and a palpable air of menace (with a much fresher sounding and word-wise chorus), now it flashes by as though the singers had to rush to catch the next flight back to Japan.
The Berlin Philharmonic brass and percussion have none of the impact and sheer, healthy vulgarity that give an irresistible swagger to numbers like In Taberna, while the quieter sections sound lost in the dead acoustic of Berlin's notoriously unflattering Philharmonie (if memory serves; the booklet omits detailed recording information).

 Opera in San Francisco
Opera is a peculiar genre, one that has been described as the form of art including all arts, since it involves literature (the words of the opera), music, theater (acting), design (scenes, costumes), and dancing (if not actual ballet certainly choreography).
Operas always react to the context that they are born in, either by consciously rejecting it or by including elements of it in the plot, costumes, style etc.
Participation in the class discussion, in which all of the issues raised by the course and the operas are discussed, constitutes a percentage of the total grade, and together with the required live performances with corresponding report, represents the core of the course.

With a good sound system or with a portable CD and earphones, you can hear the characters' voices move across the stage as they act their parts, the instruments of the orchestra have their very distintive voices and even the knife clattering on the floor is undeniable.
As an introduction to the opera experience or just as a temporary opera "fix", this CD of Madame Butterfly is the best investment you can make.
RCA has re-released the highlights again in new packaging and updated sound....and as always it is a treasure.

Following preparatory chorus and orchestra rehearsals, it took ten recording sessions to complete.
The orchestra has some Japanese bells and a Japanese tamtam added to the usual percussion section, and their are both bird sound effects a cannon shot announcing the arrival of Pinkerton's ship in the harbor.
The opera is odd in that Pinkerton doesn't really have anything that could be called a real aria in the entire opera.

 Opera Carolina: Chad's Choice
Though the Rome Opera Orchestra isn't necessarily as polished as some of the others on disc, Barbirolli conducts with great passion and beauty.
The leads are chosen more for their physical suitability for their roles, rather than their voices – thus we have a soprano (Ying Huang) who actually looks like a teenage geisha.
Two singers who have sung with Opera Carolina make appearances onscreen: Richard Troxell (who stepped in at the last minute to sing Romeo in 2001) is a fine Pinkerton, and baritone Christopheren Nomura (who sang the Count in 2002's Marriage of Figaro) appears in the supporting role of Prince Yamadori.

CLASSIC OPERA is a new mid-price series which sees the welcome return to the catalogue of outstanding opera recordings from both Decca and Philips.
Notwithstanding the many fine recordings made by the Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra with its chief conductors Ferenc Fricsay and Lorin Maazel, this compilation must be a strong candidate for the most virtuoso performance it committed to disc during the 1950s.
Purcell's only opera is one of the great masterpieces of the baroque era and Dido's Lament is one of the most heartrending arias in all opera.

This opera was by another amazon reviewer called "Verdi's little known tunefest" and I have to say it's hard coming up with a better description.
For those completely unfamiliar to Stiffelio I can assure you that the opera is packed with beautiful arias from beginning to end and this recording is also blessed with superb singers.
