Awards and reviews
2010 edition
However expansive his speeds, Sinopoli is never sentimental or self-indulgent, Puccini's honeyed moments are given, not sloppily, but with rapt intensity...Freni is a model Butterfly...Carreras is similarly presented as a large-scale Pinkerton. Juan Pons is a virile Sharpless and Teresa Berganza an equally positive, unfruity Suzuki
