Well, I must say that I'm totally biased - I adore Anna Moffo. Her "Butterfly" is tender, beautiful and totally believable. Anna was a great dramatic actress and really brings forth the emotions here. I've listened to multiple "Butterflys" and Freni's version comes pretty close. Hands down though, this is my favorite. Valetti' tenor is well-suited to Moffo's voice - both soft and light. How come Moffo was not paired with Bergonzi for this performance? THAT would have been perfect as both were reknown for their lyric phrasing. Butterfly's death scene is so incredibly sad and yet awesomely beautiful - what a juxtaposition. The lady playing "Suzuki" is also superb. Overall, a solid performance with fine cast. It's like a good Cabernet. Moffo will be terribly missed. By leelee
