Eileen Farrell - Puccini Arias
Review by Dan Shaurette
Eileen Farrell's "Puccini Arias" is a stunning showcase of the soprano's vocal range and emotive power. The album includes some of the most beloved arias from Puccini's operas, including "O mio babbino caro" from "Gianni Schicchi" and "Un bel di vedremo" from "Madama Butterfly."
Farrell's voice soars effortlessly through each aria, conveying the full spectrum of emotions from heartbreak to passion to joy. Her vibrato is rich and full, and her phrasing is impeccable, showcasing her mastery of the Italian language.
The orchestral accompaniment, led by conductor Sir Thomas Beecham, is equally impressive, providing a lush and dramatic backdrop for Farrell's vocals.
