LA BOHÈME
Sep 25 @ 12:00 AM – 3:00 AM


LA BOHÈME:Puccini
Original Air Date: 01/25/1969
Adler; Tucci, Labò, Fenn, Walker, Díaz
SID.19390213
Not a gala Boheme, but it’s nice to have two Italians in the leads. Tucci was a first rate lyric soprano, and Labo sounds very major compared to some of the second tier guys who have been doing Puccini leads. February 1 is Labo’s birthday which he shares with a far more famous Mimi, Renata Tebaldi.

LA FORZA DEL DESTINO
Mar 23 @ 12:00 PM – 3:00 PM


LA FORZA DEL DESTINO:Verdi
Stiedry; Milanov, Labò, Sereni, Siepi, Roggero, Corena
Original Air Date: 01/25/1958

SID.20130104
RWW: The fourth and last of Milanov’s Forza Leonoras. Siepi is the big plus here. A fresher Milanov can be heard in 1952 on MOoD with Tucker and Warren. In her best moments, her Leonora is major, but regardless of year, she can be uneven. Unlike most singing the part at 52, she still has the right voice.
