.: Tracklist :.



Netrebko's ever-ripening vocal timbre is thrilling in its amplitude, and she has developed into an incisive singing actress who is able to make her performances "read" both onstage and on the home screen. Her face is now as transparently expressive as her voice, and she truly knows how to listen and react to other singers and how to hold a close-up. She offers a radically different but entirely successful rake on "Mi chiamano Mimì," breaking down on "il primo bacio dell' aprile e mio," as if aware that she may not live to see another spring . . . Netrebko puts her richly colored chest register to dramatic use in the more desperate passages of Act III . . . by dint of sheer charm, Beczala triumphs . . . and gives a fine performance filled with sweetness and caressing tone. He and Netrebko have always paired well onstage, and this performance is no exception . . . The Schaunard of Alessio Arduini shows promise; he is an attractive performer who enters energetically into the action and has a voice that is distinctive and pointed in timbre . . . Daniele Gatti and the Vienna Philharmonic do full justice to Puccini's soaring score.
