«La Bohème» is the opera by Giacomo Puccini recorded in the studio in 1999 by Riccardo Chailly leading the Orchestra e Coro del Teatro alla Scala di Milano, released by Decca as a double CD album.
The work follows the love story between the poet Rodolfo and the fragile Mimì in the bohemian Paris of the mid-19th century, with the counterpoint of the relationship between Marcello and Musetta. The cast includes Roberto Alagna, Angela Gheorghiu, Simon Keenlyside and Ildebrando D'Arcangelo. The recording captures both the romantic intensity and the verismo character of Puccini's score.
European edition in a slipcase with two CDs released by Decca in 1999. DDD digital recording.
Recommended for opera enthusiasts and lovers of the romantic classical repertoire seeking a version with outstanding voices and Riccardo Chailly's conducting.
