I am fortunate enough to have this production on DVD. I also have several recordings of la Boheme various media I have two separate recordings on 78 RPM from the early century 1900s 78 RPM from 1930s recording I even have a CD but this is my favorite version of all. There’s just something about Jose Caras and Teresa Stas together that’s magical.
At his best, before his illness, Jose Carreras was the best of the modern tenors, wonderful, strong tenor, great acting. Tere sa Strata here, looked the part of a wan Mimi, with a lovely voice and also fantastic acting., this was wonderful to watch, thanks for posting. Carreras is also my favorite Pagliacci, singing with Renata Scotto.
My eyes tear up and emotion grips my throat at the very first notes of this aria. When they begin singing together for the very first time, electricity runs down my spine. It's no wonder this scene is so powerful for me, as the love of my life, who I lost 24 years ago, had just met me when my father, who happened to be visiting from far away, snuck off into the living room and started playing it. Somehow he knew even before I did, that I had met "the one". Sadly, my mother, his wife, would pass away 24 years after they were married. I always recall being around 10 years old and as this record played hearing my Dad say, "A friend told me when you go to see La Boheme, you must bring 2 handkerchiefs: one for your nose, and one for your eyes. How right he was. Happy Father's Day Dad!!!
Uno de los duetos románticos más hermosos de la ópera La Bohemia de Puccini es éste: "Oh dulce jovencita", en la que Rodolfo le declara su amor a Mimí, la humilde vecina de su hospedaje bohemio. Sus voces se fusionan entre sí como una sola, y el dueto de principio a fin es como una sublime declaración de amor que emociona los corazones y deleita las almas del público que los escucha.
It's been a while since I listened to this - how could I have forgotten how exquisite these two sound? Carreras is made for this role - handsome, sweet, earnest, with a heartbreakingly beautiful voice.
i watch this daily. like religiously. i’m so obsessed with this version

내가 호세 카레라스의 목소리에 반했던 첫번째 작품.
80년대의 그의 목소리는 사람의 심장을 요동치게 하기에 충분했다.
특히 그가 부르는 라보엠의 아리아들은 언제들어도 사람을 설래게 한다.

You just can't take your eyes off Jose Carreras here, and then there's his voice...
This is one of my favorite version of this aria. Carreras is just perfect in this role.
It is incredible that this has so few views. If Carreras was at his peak now he would be more in demand than any of todays stars
Lovely duo. Carreras and Stratas are magnificent.
My absolutely favourite performance of this aria. Adorable & top class - singing, casting, all of it - how is this even possible?
Absolutely passionate, breathtaking perfection!! Bravo, Bravo!!!
What a magnificent interpretation !!! Top artists both of them!!!
La tua bravura è pari alla tua bellezza! Grande!!!!!!

I share similar sentiment and memories of La Boheme.
My music Appreciation professor made me watch this
And I hope you later thanked her/him for doing so!
"Made" you???? lol.
You were lucky to have a professor that drew your attention thus.

God... wasn't Carreras gorgeous back then? And his voice, too.
An incredible combination of talent, beauty, charisma, and pizzazz.

El Do no fue escrito por Puccini y cantó afinado
Con todo respeto, Carreras justito en afinación... Y no hablamos de que el Do del final se lo merienda... No...
this is so beautiful over and over again...
