BaL 10.12.16 - Puccini: La fanciulla del West

[Pulcinella]

Interesting thought, Pulcinella. I will have to listen again with that in mind (no great hardship for me!)

There was one bit in particular that I thought could have been Judith singing Kek-sa-ka-lu (? spelling), though perhaps it was just as much Elektra singing Orest.

But sadly the live 1954 recording isn't.

No but it was surely worth a mention.

I agree completely, it's a great performance. But the recording.............

The Stemme/ Kaufmann DVD is gripping stuff - singing and acting of rare quality . Terrific production too.
