Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Few singers received the adulation accorded Lucrezia Bori, whose glorious soprano finally gets its recorded due in these miraculous transfers by Ward Marston, which convey the body and warmth slighted in her previous incarnations on LP and CD. Bori's light, lyric voice was used with intelligence and pathos, making her one of the greatest Puccini singers, a wonderful Traviata, a spirited Carmen, and a masterful advocate of Spanish song, all virtues in evidence here. Most treasurable are the duets with partners like John McCormack, Tito Schipa, and Beniamino Gigli in concerted pieces like the Rigoletto "Quartet." Her "O Parigi" duet with McCormack is priceless. Even her Mozart arias, however unstylish they may seem these days, get to the heart of the music. --Dan Davis

Customer Reviews:
Excellent singing by a neglected artist.......2002-07-13
Highly feted in her day, soprano Lucrezia Bori went into a serious decline in popularity following her retirement. By the 1960s she was strictly in the province of specialty collectors, not nearly as well-remembered as Ponselle, Muzio or Flagstad.
Though she did not possess a voice that incredible, but rather a smallish instrument, she was a singer of surprising musicality for that era and great variety. Not all of her records are fabulous--indeed, it is perhaps because she was a famous Violetta but her "Sempre libera" is so disappointing that she became forgotten so quickly--but in the great majority of them one hears a singer and artist of great imagination, musicality and control, singing with a bright but not grating tone and excellent phrasing. Highly recommended, especially to those who do not mind the sound of old records.

Few singers received the adulation accorded Lucrezia Bori, whose glorious soprano finally gets its recorded due in these miraculous transfers by Ward Marston, which convey the body and warmth slighted in her previous incarnations on LP and CD. Bori's light, lyric voice was used with intelligence and pathos, making her one of the greatest Puccini singers, a wonderful Traviata, a spirited Carmen, and a masterful advocate of Spanish song, all virtues in evidence here. Most treasurable are the duets with partners like John McCormack, Tito Schipa, and Beniamino Gigli in concerted pieces like the Rigoletto "Quartet." Her "O Parigi" duet with McCormack is priceless. Even her Mozart arias, however unstylish they may seem these days, get to the heart of the music. --Dan Davis
