5.0 out of 5 stars spectacular, 24 Nov 2001
By A Customer
This is a definitive recording of Butterfly. Callas' voice responds to the music giving girlish delight turning to a young woman's love. Then through waiting and remaining true to her lover and father of her child and ultimately ending in despair. Callas shows through the voice all of these emotions. Never heard a better Butterfly!

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good recording of "Madama Butterfly", 15 Feb 2003
By V. Chau (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This "Madama Butterfly" is a fantastic recording. Maria Callas truly sounds like a 15-year-old geisha and she thins down her mighty voice in order to sound more like Cio-Cio San. Her voice normally lacks beauty, though I don't consider it to be an intrinsically ugly one. In this recording, her voice is actually quite beautiful. Her "Un bel dì" is wonderful. It is finely sung and well acted. Her duet with Gedda is OK, nothing special. That brings me to the tenor. Nicolai Gedda is an exceptional artist, but he is not an ideal Pinkerton. He sounds out of place as the American lieutenant. He doesn't fare well in Italian operas, despite his exceptional linguistic gifts. He is much better in French, German, and operetta roles. The Sharpless is excellent and the Suzuki is competent. The true surprise for me was Herbert von Karajan's masterful conducting. The great maestro paces Puccini's gorgeous score perfectly. He is not the bombastic tyrant that you will find on his later recording of "Butterfly" with Mirella Freni and Luciano Pavarotti. In this recording, he doesn't drown out the soprano. Rather, he supports her with a great reading of the score. You will not go wrong with this recording. Just skip the parts with Gedda. Callas is masterful in her interpretation. Karajan shows us why he is was world-class conductor.
