Arturo Toscanini, Puccini, Albanese, Peerce, Valentino, McKnight, NBC Symphony Orchestra - La Bohème
Review by Velibor Perisic
La Bohème, conducted by Arturo Toscanini and performed by Puccini, Albanese, Peerce, Valentino, McKnight, and the NBC Symphony Orchestra, is a stunning rendition of Puccini's beloved opera. The album captures the emotional intensity and romanticism of the story with great finesse and artistry.
Toscanini's direction is masterful, bringing out the full range of colors and nuances in the music. The NBC Symphony Orchestra performs with precision and sensitivity, creating a rich and vibrant sound that perfectly complements the singers' voices.
The vocal performances are equally impressive, with Albanese, Peerce, Valentino, and McKnight all delivering powerful and moving interpretations of their respective roles. Their voices blend together seamlessly, creating a cohesive and harmonious sound that is simply breathtaking.

About Arturo Toscanini, Puccini, Albanese, Peerce, Valentino, McKnight, NBC Symphony Orchestra
Italian conductor, born March 25, 1867 in Parma, Italy; died January 16, 1957 in New York.
Originally a cellist, he began his career as opera conductor after having participated as cellist in the world premiere of Verdi's Otello at La Scala in 1887 under the composer's supervision. Toscanini's ability to interpret his scores impressed the composer.
From 1898 to 1908 Toscanini was resident conductor at La Scala, Milan. Outside of Europe, he conducted at the Metropolitan Opera in New York (19081915) as well as (19261936). Toscanini was the first non-German conductor to appear at Bayreuth (19301931). In the 1930s he conducted at the Salzburg Festival (19341937) and the inaugural concert in 1936 of the Palestine Symphony Orchestra (now the ) in Tel Aviv.
He took the Scala Orchestra to the United States on a concert tour in 1920-21; Toscanini made his first recordings for the Victor Talking Machine Company.
Though he ran in 1919 unsuccessfully as a Fascist parliamentary candidate in Milan and had been called "the greatest conductor in the world" by Mussolini, he became disillusioned with fascism and left for the United States where the was created for him in 1937.
During a concert on April 4, 1954, in Carnegie Hall, Toscanini suffered a memory lapse caused by a transient ischemic attack. He never conducted live in public again. Toscanini was 87 years old when he retired.
