Title: My fave of the many I have
Review: This is the deepest, most meaningful and sublime Butterfly on disc. Capturing Callas in her best and most intense years it represents Puccini at his very best without faked verismo tears or dumb "drama". Callas is, though moving, a thoughtful, meaningful Butterfly, not a stupid kid. Gedda is nice, I would have preferred di Stefano though who sounds amazing on the recording with the equally stunning de los Angeles. A triumph on all accounts!
