Review by Rounak Baral

Highlights From Puccini's La Rondine is a stunning album that showcases the incredible talents of Puccini, Anna Moffo, Daniele Barioni, Mario Sereni, Graziella Sciutti, Piero De Palma, RCA Italiana Opera Orchestra and Chorus, and Francesco Molinari-Pradelli. The album features some of the most iconic and beautiful pieces from the opera, including "Chi il bel sogno di Doretta", "Bevo al tuo fresco sorriso", and "Paolo!...Che non sei tu che parli?".

Anna Moffo's soaring vocals and Daniele Barioni's powerful tenor voice are a true highlight of the album, as they bring a depth of emotion and intensity to each piece they perform. The RCA Italiana Opera Orchestra and Chorus, under the masterful direction of Francesco Molinari-Pradelli, provide a rich and full-bodied sound that perfectly complements the vocal performances.

The album also features Graziella Sciutti and Piero De Palma, who deliver stunning performances in their respective roles. Their contributions to the album are not to be overlooked, as they add a layer of complexity and depth to the overall sound.
