Opera Chorus

"HUMMING CHORUS"— Madame But- " terfly (Puccini) ; "Festa e pane"— LaGiocorifla (Poiichiello), Sung by La Scala Chorus, of Milan. Columbia 03523. One of the most effective moments in "Madame Butterfly" is where Susuki, Cho Cho San and her child are waiting for Pinkerton's arrival. From the town below comes a murmur of sounds and voices woven into a languorous slowlymoving refrain. The melody is taken by the chorus, who hum with closed lips, and the effect is exceedingly beautiful. Quite in contrast is the vigorous and spirited festal chorus from "La Gioconda (The Snake). La Scala. has the reputation of being one of the best operatic choruses in the world, and they certainly give us a remarkable record.
