Not much in this cast draws me except for Giaiotti’s only broadcast Colline. He was considered by many in the tier behind Siepi, Tozzi, and Hines. He was an anchor of the Met ensemble for almost 3 decades, and frequently encountered as Timur, Raimondo, and Ramfis. There are definitely more interesting Bohemes out there, and they are broadcast more frequently than this. Still not a plus in this week’s listings.

This is Victoria de los Angeles’ farewell broadcast and also her final season — she alternates Harriet in Martha on tour with Mimi. Paul Jackson in his broadcast reviews and a very big fan of VDLA finds her in mixed form, but surrounded by uninteresting colleagues. Still, for those of you who have never heard her live, there will be some rewards in the listening. Check her studio Boheme recorded in NYC with Bjorling, Merrill, Amara under Beecham, but not official Met sponsorship. Too bad her 1958 Violetta in Traviata has not been broadcast with Campora or her 1959 Manon with Gedda under Morel or the same pair in the 1960 Pelleas.
