Carlos Kleiber: La Boheme (Puccini) - La Scala 1979 (Complete)

[tibele1000]

Altogether a great experience for the eye and ear. Thank you!

[123must]

Tutto stupendo,Kleiber e Cotrubas in primo luogo. L'unico neo è la partecipazione del gonfiatissimo ( dai media ) Pavarotti !

Grazie

[truvianni]

in my opinion there is no better Mimi than Angela Gheorghiu

[AfroPoli]

Garaventa was better as Rodolfo. A pity that the performance with Pavarotti was recorded and not the one with Garaventa.

[nileinafrica]

Who cast the only down vote? I'd like to see some explanation.

[pilipsba]

If you keep posting these clips I'll never get anything done.



[ochnajanu]

Great, thx a million



[MrGrub88]

fantastica.....un pavarotti vocalmente perfetto....ma.....porca paletta, non è capace di andare in tempo?????? non è mai stato in grado di farlo, mi dispiace dirlo

[cccxxxc]

I'm new to classical music. I understand that La Boheme comprises of 4 acts. With regard to this video, could anyone be so kind as to point out where they start and finish? I'd be most grateful.

[MynameisTyler94]

Pavorotti*

[MynameisTyler94]

This is my favorite opera but sadly pavoratti let me down with his acting. And rodolfo's first phrase of the show (which always gives me goosebumps) was also disappointing. A very good recording though and it is still my favorite opera. Thumbs up!

[kalonice100]

INMEJORABLE !!!!!!!

MIL GRACIAS !!!!!

[Rospaint]

Oh - thank you, thank you SO MUCH!

Great performance, great Pavarotti, Kleiber, everybody and everything!..

Ileana Cotrubas is - I believe - an IDEAL MIMI. She is wonderful in Covent Garden too - with Shicoff (he IMO is one of the greatests as Rodolfo!).

volodia2, thank you very much. Very interesting and valuable it is recording live performances of "La Boheme" from La Scala with Luciano Pavarotti. Personally, it's very special because it is the baritone Lorenzo Saccomani, who shared the stage, talked a lot, is a very agradabley I have photos with him, this is before this performance.

[pieritlyon]

volodia2, muchas gracias. Muy interesante y valiosa ésta grabación por que es en directo de la representación de "La Boheme" desde la Scala con Luciano Pavarotti. Personalmente, es muy especial ya que está el baritono Lorenzo Saccomani, con quién compartí escenario; conversamos mucho, es una persona muy agradabley tengo fotografías con él; ésto es antes de ésta actuación.

[MrOlogramma]

Un'esecuzione leggendaria! Un pianto senza fine!

[MariaCaIIas]

this is the performance of the 30th of March

.

any opera fan can see that the baryton that night is obviously NOT Capuccili but Lorenzo Saccomani!!!

[helenaprice]

Somehow I'd convinced myself that I had no need for La Popp in my life. How wrong was I. I don't even like this opera, and I'm entranced.

Thanks for uploading!

[intermerdacce]

...ma stacca dei tempi velocissimi!...

[musicandi88]

wonderful, really great! but i prefer renata scotto as mimi!

[abdito721]

beautiful what a pitty i has no subtitles :(

[SQUIRTHUNTER2]

volodya2, Piero Capuccilli ?? wtf ???

[volodya2]

@SQUIRTHUNTER2

What?

[SQUIRTHUNTER2]

@volodya2 Milan , La Scala 22 March , 1979 ; Live Recordings La Scala Milan Orchestra & Chorus Mimi : Ileana Cotrubas Rodolfo : Luciano Pavarotti Marcello : Piero Cappuccilli <-------- ???? Musseta : Lucia Popp Schaunard : Giorgio Giorgetti Colline : Evghenij Nesterenko Parpignol : Saverio Porzano Benoit : Claudio Giombi Alcindore : Alfredo Giacomotti Sergente dei Doganieri : Carlo Meliciani Un Doganiere : Giuseppe Morresi Un Venditore : Regolo Romani

[Ethratian]

@volodya2

I think he means, that it's (sadly) not the version from 22 March 1979 but 30 March 1979 and Marcello was that time not Piero Cappucilli but Lorenzo Saccomani as you can see for example at 1:26:56.

All the best

[robinevdd]

Eines der schönsten und intensivsten Musikerlebnisse der letzten Jahrzehnte!!!

So kann Musik die Seele berühren und dort für lange Zeit schwingen.

Thank you for sharing. Perfect moments of greatest musical pleasure.

[MyMelomane]

Grande produzioni, una tra le più belle! Splendido Pavarotti!!!! Ma di Cappuccilli nemmeno l'ombra...

[berto3141]

For my money, this is clearly the best version of "La Boheme" I have ever seen or heard. What a cast -- Popp, Pav, Cotrubas, etc. -- and Carlos conducting. There are so many wonderful conductorial decisions here: e.g., the tempo of the beginning of Act I, the panache of the scene at the caffe, the slight delay in the execution of the last two notes at the end of Act II, etc. A FABULOUS, FABULOUS job by the great Carlos Kleiber. I will treasure it forever. Thanks, volodya2! Encora una volta!

[altinihenri]

Magnifique et émouvant.Merci pour  ce cadeau!

[jamtrp]

is kleiber doing that from memory?!

[berto3141]

@jamtrp Yes, he is. His preparation and memory were legendary. Astonishing.

[dodotassi]

fantastica esucuzione . 

[philiphoward123]

PERFECT

[MrMaxmorphing]

[MrMaxmorphing]

grazie volodya

[paulostroff99]

Tremendous.TY volodya 2 for posting

[bachgod]

Molto venne e grandiozo.. Mille grazie...Carlos Kleibert. Tu e grandiozo...

Bravissimo..

[changjiang001]

which fucking idiot booed?

[MelWolff]

@changjiang001 I believe audience at La Scala always have the horrible habit of booing singers....DON'T KNOW WHY!

[berto3141]

@MelWolff It's a combination of three things: tradition that provided a precedent that legitimated it, personal immaturity, and egocentrism (crudely calling attention to oneself in a public setting).

[Alidoro]

Gracias por compartir esta joya. Cotrubas realmente conmueve. Y todos están magníficos, incluyendo una puesta como hoy ya no hay. Otra vez, gracias!

[wenarto]

AMEN!

[WanderingWotan]

Mille grazie, Volodya2! This is truly priceless.

[Cissy97]

Even if Marcello here wasn't Cappuccilli, this is still the BEST La Boheme DVD!

[babycmamasavant]

...beyond imagination...thx 4 posting...!!

[wagnerhero]

Thank you so much for posting this!

WHERE did you find this???

[66cecilia]

SEMPLICEMENTE STRAORDINARI........grazie di averlo pubblicato!!!!!!!!!

[jorgemadera]

Personally I think that Lucía played, perhaps, one of the best Musseta of the last 50 years. Volodya, thank you very much for uploading this opera, is simply magical.

[OBK2222]

Marcello is Saccomani....

[arisargiris]

Who is Marcello? For sure thats not Cappuccilli!!!

[olaig100]

@arisargiris Questo è il cast:

Puccini: LA BOHÈME - Cotrubas- Pavarotti- Popp- Saccomani- Nesterenko; Kleiber. 1979 La Scala.

[calibardo]

Grazie, grazie, Volodya !! Io l'avevo vista, avevo anche un'audiocassetta ripresa dalla Roadio, ma l'ho persa da tanto tempo: sono felice che il mito che di questa esecuzione mi ero costruito nella memoria...corrisponde ancora alla realtà!

[MrPetrosLinardos]

THANK YOU!!!!!

I've been desperately looking for this for 26 years!

[46ptox]

Carlos, Luciano, Lucia.... non ci sono piu....

[46ptox]

My dearest volodya2, I love you I love you I love you!!!!

[ckitb]

Grazieeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!



[dialectgirl]

Thank you! :D

[latraviata69]

tante grazie. Incredibile.

[TraVoiBelle]

THIS is the best live video recording of La Boheme!

Amen!

[claudiogiombi]

@TraVoiBelle E stato un piacere rivedermi accanto al mio amato Carlos Kleiber. GRAZIE Claudio Giombi

[xafnndapp]

@claudiogiombi Che fantastico ricordo dev'essere aver partecipato con questi giganti!!

[domi2020]

@TraVoiBelle I think the one from Paris with Te Kanawa and Domingo is pretty amazing too!

[TraVoiBelle]

@domi2020 Domingo as Rodolfo!? No way!

And here Herr Kleiber made a fantastic Puccini!

[domi2020]

@TraVoiBelle Yes way! Its a production in 1980 with Santi conducting. Some of the scenes are uploaded on youtube! Its brilliant! and heartbreaking.

[stefanodepeppo]

@TraVoiBelle Domingo didn't have the beauty of Luciano's voice and its immediate warmth (leaving alone Luciano's splendid high C...), but he definitely was a much more impassioned Rodolfo than Pavarotti, and much much better actor!

[TraVoiBelle]

@stefanodepeppo Than I could try to see Placido in a production at the theatre, even as as Rodolfo. But not at the opera :)

[berorocao]

@TraVoiBelle Exactly. It is the best video recording and performance, even though the sound is not so good.

[shubus]

Who'd have thought this great performance was recorded! Let alone on video! Another great Kleiber treat.

[MariaCaIIas]

@shubus everybody knew it was recorded on video... it was transmitted on TV
