Manon Lescaut is an opera in four acts by Giacomo Puccini, composed between 1890 and 1893. The story is based on the 1731 novel L'histoire du chevalier des Grieux et de Manon Lescaut by the Abbé Prévost. In 1884 an opera by Jules Massenet entitled Manon, and based on the same novel, was premiered and has also become popular.

Jussi Bjorling - Bizet: "The Pearl Fishers" Duet, Puccini & Verdi: Duets and Scenes. The "Manon Lescaut" duet with Licia Albanese is exciting and pulsates with drama. Finally, the "Turandot" scene - in addition to Bjoerling, features the sublime Tebaldi in her most creamy vocal estate. To go into great detail about ANY of the items on this recording is very difficult. I have always enjoyed listening to opera and Jussi Byorling was one of the first I remember hearing espeially his rendering of In the depths of the templer.

Giacomo PUCCINI (1858 – 1924) Manon Lescaut (1893) Licia Albanese (soprano) – Manon Lescaut; Jussi Björling (tenor) – Chevalier des Grieux; Robert Merrill (baritone) – Lescaut; Franco Calabrese (bass) – Geronte di Ravoir and Sergeant of the Royal Archers; Mario Carlin (tenor) – Edmondo and The Dancing Master; Enrico Campi (bass) – The Innkeeper and The Ship’s Captain; Anna Maria Rota (mezzo) – The Madrigal Singer Rome Opera House Chorus. This Manon marked RCA’s move to Italy for their opera recordings, initially employing the Rome Opera Chorus and Orchestra, later the RCA Italiana Orchestra. Jonel Perlea, who made a number of important opera recordings, leads a very flexible performance and is, or so it seems, very considerate to his main soloists who are encouraged to delve deep into their characters.
