LUCIANO PAVAROTTI | MIRELLA FRENI | HERBERT VON KARAJAN Puccini: Madama Butterfly (A landmark opera recording – newly remastered using 24bit 192kHz transfers of the original master tapes and presented in a deluxe edition to commemorate 100 years since Puccini’s death. Performed in January 1974 at Vienna’s Sofiensle, this recording features the finest ensemble of the era, led by Mirella Freni and Luciano Pavarotti, conducted by Herbert von Karajan, and it remains one of the most revered in the operatic canon. Now, as part of Decca’s centenary tribute to Giacomo Puccini, this legendary performance is issued on vinyl for the first time in over four decades – remastered from the original 1975 tapes and pressed on 180-gram audiophile vinyl, cut at Abbey Road Studios. This beautifully presented edition is housedside in a purple cloth-wrapped rigid slipcase with gold-block titles and a lavish hardback book containing multi-lingual essays, facsimiles, rare photos, and the complete libretto in Italian with English and German translations. It also features a specially commissioned collectible poster in a 1920s vintage style. Finished with a mirror-gold hype sticker and factory sealed. A timeless masterpiece reissued with extraordinary care and attention to detail – an essential acquisition for opera lovers and vinyl collectors alike!)
