Editorial Review:

Album Description:
The hottest soprano/tenor combination in opera today follow up their sensational pairing in "La Traviata", portraying another immortal star-crossed couple in Puccini's "La Bohème." A youthful cast bring a special authenticity and enthusiasm to this timeless tale of bohemians in Paris. Recorded in concert, with the excitement and spontaneity of a live performance; but in studio-like conditions, for superior sound quality. Classic FM raved about the performances: "We get a Latinate passionate Rodolfo and a more delicately responsive Mimì, who blossoms under the warmth of the other's yearning into a full declaration of love at the end." The perfect new recording of his most popular opera with which to celebrate the Puccini year (150th anniversary of his birth in 1858)
Customer Reviews
Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - For Villazon, a triumph, and the rest is very good
Because it's recorded so often, La Boheme has accumulated a host of fine recordings, but this new one, made in Munich as a concert performance in 2007, doesn't quite rise to the top. It's been hyped for the pairing of Netrebko and Villazon and critically sneered at because Villazon doesn't dare the high C in 'Che gelida manina' or the succeeding duet in Act 1. Listening on purely musical grounds, I think Villazon has proved himself at last: his is a fully realized, ardent Rodolfo who holds your attention from first to last. He's got personality, and his voice encompasses a lovely range of feelings.

Except for this one golden nugget, the rest varies from average to very good. I'd put Netrebko in the very good department, for her beauty, steady stream of appealing tone, obvious ... Read More


Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Good, but failed to surpass.
This new version `La Boheme' is a risky investment. There are numerous top-notch recordings from first rate performers that the ante for the benchmark is really hard to surmount.
And in reality this recording does not succeed in surpassing some of its eminent predecessors. Rolando Villazon made a gallant effort in present Rodolfo, and his portrayal really is at par with other lyrical tenors in the class of Giuseppe di Stefano, but for the down-scaled aria in Act I. Even so, Villazon really stole the show in this CD recording with his poetic and passionate approach.
Others fare less well. There were high hopes for Anna Netrebko's Mimi, perhaps the only Puccini role that suits her lyrical soprano. While her singing did not disappoint in the basic aspects, for the more refined listeners ... Read More


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - LOVELY ADDITION
Of course Puccini's La Boheme remains one of the most beloved
and enduring verisimo works in the operatic repertoire. Mr Villazon
and Ms. Nebretko seem to have a very lovely chemistry and are
having a wonderful success with both their careers. Their singing
in these roles is a positive addition to their previous collaborations,
and hopefully Nebretko will deepen her interpretations as she grows
as an artist.
I wanted to comment on several of the reviews which stated disappointment
in Villazon not singing the high C in 'Che Gelida Manina'. It is true
that in the score, the high note in that aria done in the written key
is a high C. But it is one note. If all your interest is in this or any
musical work, is a high note, then I fear ... Read More


Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - La Boheme
As an ardent follower of Rolando Villazon, I found the latest CD disappointing. It does not stand up to the superior previous DVD and CD recordings he has made.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Very good record
I wasn't waiting to hear a high C in "Che gelida manina" this day's most of tenors never sing the high C!!
The record it's very good, Rolando and Anna are in a good shape, but i don't know! I'm feel that they have some out of tones mistakes, probably they make this production to fast!!
Any way it's a very good version!!
