Contents:
It must be said that both the clarity and expressivity of her text are excellent, virtues which go a long way towards making one overlook the generalised vocal colours.

If some compromises are necessary in order to accept Gheorghiu as Butterfly, no such concerns arise with the ideal casting of Jonas Kaufmann as Pinkerton. He has the requisite virility, legato sweep and pointed text to do full justice to his role and demonstrates, on occasion, some remarkable vocal beauty.
As Suzuki, Enkelejda Shkosa 's dramatic mezzo voice lends the character greater expressivity than the lyric mezzos who tend to tackle the role, and works well as a foil to the soprano's instrument. Fabio Capitanucci as Sharpless is pleasing and high quality without being especially distinguished. The smaller roles are all vividly performed and well sung, contributing to a sense of immediacy present in the whole recording.
Madama Butterfly, SC 74 (Puccini, Giacomo)
This immediacy is the most appealing feature of the set, and is mainly due to truly first class sound engineering and orchestral playing of remarkable finesse, beauty and passion under the direction of Antonio Pappano. The complex textures and imaginative instrumentation in the score shine through with excellent clarity, and many details have been revealed to me for the first time. The Orchestra dell'Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia are in a different league compared to their playing on many famous opera recordings from the s and s which, though always demonstrating a great sense of style, could tend towards the rough and ready.

If Pappano is thought of as primarily a singers' conductor, one only needs to listen to the orchestral interlude at the beginning of part 2 of Act II to hear that his skills in pacing and colouring this repertoire want for nothing. The sensitivity with which he accompanies Gheorghiu as she sings to the child to go on sleeping is breathtaking, and the ensuing build up to the tragic denouement from Pinkerton's re-entrance onwards has an ideal inexorability about it that leads to a hugely effecitve emotional climax.
The Butterfly of Angela Gheorghiu does not rival those of Callas and Scotto for interpretative insight, or those of Freni and Caballe for vocal security, but it is nevertheless impressive and certainly isn't a reason to avoid this recording. Thanks to the excellent supporting cast, magnificent orchestral playing, Pappano's masterful command of the score and recorded sound that is sheer luxury, EMI have a great success on their hands that fully justifies adding another Madama Butterfly to the catalogue.
