This album presents a selection of Giacomo Puccini's most beautiful operatic arias (Tosca, Madame Butterfly, Turandot and others) as interpreted by one of the greatest sopranos of the 20th century - Montserrat Caballé. Her distinctive voice with unusual timbre and lyrical-dramatic expression perfectly captures the emotional richness of Puccini's music - from subtle phrases to dramatic climaxes. She is accompanied by the London Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Charles Mackerras.
