Beschreibung

ATTRACTIVE ALBUM LEAF "LA BOHEME" From his opera "La Bohème", with which Leoncavallo had challenged his most dangerous rival Puccini in 1897, a two-act phrase on "Mimi la biondinetta" (Act 1). Leoncavallo wrote this album leaf when he was in London and conducted a series of performances of his opera "Pagliacci" (The Bajazzo) at the London Hippodrome.
