Puccini: La bohème

Re-issue of one of the absolute standards of Italian opera with Victoria de los Ángeles at the peak of her art, whose frail voice and beautiful tone have rarely been equaled for the role of Mimì. With the amazing Jussi Björling, she forms one of the legendary couples of the discographic history. Her overwhelming performance is made even more beautiful by the sensitive accompaniment of Thomas Beecham, in a repertoire which he rarely put on record, but loved and advocated very much through his career.
