Thank you :) By the time he made this recording of La Bohème very near the end of his career, Sir Thomas Beecham claimed to have conducted the opera ove 300 times. In am interview he gave to Irving Kolodin at the time, he said that he was all the more delighted to record the piece in New York, when « I thought I had had my last go at it! » He went on to explain that “What I have done reflects Puccini's desires about this Score as of 1920“ - some 25 years after the premiere. He added: 'In the intervening time Puccini had heard Bohème innumerable times. He had a positive mania for going about and hearing his own operas, whether they were played in a town twenty miles away in Italy or in England a thousand miles off. (....) (....) After that it may be a wonder that Beecham conducted this opera with such love. But the music was his concern, and he never stinted his praise for the mastery of the opera, as he said to Kolodin “one of the most skilfully orchestrated scores we have“, going on to explain in detail just why. That deep and detailed understanding helps to explain how in those hard-pressed New York sessions in the spring of 1956, the experience of a lifetime came to be caught on record in all its magic. ***COMPLETE PRESENTATION: LOOK THE FIRST PINNED COMMENT*** Giacomo Puccini & Vincenzo Bellini PLAYLIST (reference recordings):
