"La fiamma" is one of the greatest Italian operas of the 20th century. This is a master at the top of his game, and he drives his tale of love and witchcraft forward with a score that is so mysterious, atmospheric, and tinged with sulfur, that you can almost smell it. That’s what American music reviewer Eric D. Anderson writes about this work.
Every new recording with Montserrat Caballé turns out to be a hit, and this time you’ll also not be disappointed in the way she creates the role of Silvana. The other (lesser known singers) are being dragged along in this sinister drama. One of the many highlights from the oeuvre of this soprano.

Barcelona, Teatro del Liceu
December 23, 1989
