This recording of LA TRAVIATA is the third one in my collection (the other two being the Cotrubas/Kleiber and the Callas/Giulini recordings), and am I glad I bought it! As superb as those other two recordings are, I actually LIKE this one the most. It is an all-around excellent performance. Bergonzi's is possibly the finest Alfredo on any complete recording; Merrill is perfectly suited to Germont; Pritchard paces the opera beautifully; the recorded sound is spacious, with lots of atmosphere in the party scenes. But the real surprise of the recording is Sutherland. She brings all of her distinctive gifts to the role of Violetta: a ripe, beautiful voice; supreme coloratura ability; a talent for conveying pathos. I love how she uses her extraordinary techinique to expressive ends. For example, her cadenza and trill at the end of "Ah, forse lui" perfectly express the sense of "delizia" ("delights"). (The phrase is "croce e delizia al cor" – love is "a cross and a delight to the heart.") And in "Amami, Alfredo" she uses the exceptional amplitude of her voice to suggest just how much Violetta loves Alfredo. There are many more examples. Although Sutherland's diction lacks ideal clarity, her SOUND "says" so much that, to me, her diction problems matter little. Besides, her spoken Italian (in the letter scene and at the very end of the opera) is very clear, leading me to believe that she simply had trouble ennunciating clearly when singing in the higher part of her voice. Anyway, Sutherland's unique gifts distinguish her as one of the all-time great Violettas. This is an all-around wonderful recording of LA TRAVIATA that fans of Sutherland in particular should hear.
