I haven’t listened to this score in nearly 20 years. Thank you for having this up in such clarity.

Nicely done! Also nice to have the full score along with the recording. Puccini's music, while obviously emphasizing powerful and moving melody, is also full of subtleties in harmony and orchestration!

Finally I can compose a solo interpretation for viena la sera
36:03 noted for lateer
