Biography

RICCARDO CHAILLY – BIOGRAPHY
“Since its founding more than 250 years ago . . . the Gewandhaus Orchestra has gone through 18 music directors, including Mendelssohn, and many changes. The new dyna¬mism that this eminent orchestra displayed . . . is surely attributable to its 19th music director, the Italian conductor Riccardo Chailly. After Tuesday night’s concert ended with an arresting, organic and… Read more in Amazon's Riccardo Chailly Store

5.0 out of 5 stars Virtuosic, 23 May 2001
By Mathew Calewarts - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Rossini Cantatas Vol. 2 (Audio CD)
This CD is a rare treat. It combines a light classic "Mozartian" style with a melodic Rossinian belcanto. The vocal performances are very good. Bartoli and the young tenor Juan Diego Florez as the headliners. Juan Diego Florez really stands out on this CD as a vocal force to look out for. He is very young, mid-twenties, but has an extremely beautiful and fluid voice. He exhibits practically no vocal strain. Bartoli's coloratura is stunning as usual. The range she possess is well demonstrated on this disc. Fans of classical music will not be dissapointed by this disc. It is well worth the cost.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pure Pleasure, 31 May 2001
By William S. Levison - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Rossini Cantatas Vol. 2 (Audio CD)
This recording of two of Rossini's many cantatas is an abolute delight. Everyone involved communicates the joy of making these early works come alive. Bartoli and Chailly are known qualities, and the former contributes some of the most spectacular vocal pyrotechnics I have ever heard; I don't remember any "superstar" who so fully lives up to his or her hype the way this singer does with every recording. Chailly is a Rossini specialist who works his usual magic with this unfamiliar material. The other four soloists deserve their equal billing with Bartoli, tenor Florez and soprano Scano doing outstanding work. Too bad space could not be found to include their photos along with the mezzo and maestro in the otherwise excellent accompanying booklet. This disc is a gem.

5.0 out of 5 stars Crave a Dose of Rossini Now and Then?, 18 Sep 2008
By Giordano Bruno - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Rossini Cantatas Vol. 2 (Audio CD)
I know I do. When my mood is funky, nothing raises it more dependably than Rossini's musical "abbondanza" - his extravagant wit, untarnished nobility, amore honore valore with ample parmaggiano, his ringing heroic tenors, his eye-and-wine-glass-popping sopranos - and my mood needs elevating in this sordid era of mass deception, when America is being herded toward its Day of Reckoning, eagerly by its religious fanatics toward cultural civil war, cynically by its corporatist neo-conservatives toward World War III. Perhaps only music can put that two-headed dog to sleep.

These two cantatas - already an archaic form in the early 19th C - are products of Rossini's youth. Il Pianto d'Armonia was a conservatory project, written when he was 16, but already displaying his command of the "seria" musical vocabulary, a pre-taste of the grandeur of Guglielmo Tell. Le Nozzi di Teti, written when Rossini was 24, is a celebratory masterpiece composed for the wedding of the Duc de Berry, half cantata and half pageant. The accounts of its single performance suggest that it was splendiferous, with the kind of vocal athletic display to be heard in his greatest operas.

Juan Diego Florez is widely considered the finest Rossini tenor of our lifetimes, and his subtle emotionalism in these performances supports that assessment. Cecilia Bartoli was born and raised to sing the most heart-stopping flights of coloratura; her arias as Ceres in Le Nozzi di Teti are virtuosically acrobatic. Paul Kelly and Elisabetta Scano, though less world-famous, match Bartoli and Flores passage for passage.

Rossini's abbondanza extended to la cucina, by the way. He was both chef and gourmet. I'd love to have jolly Gioachino join me in the kitchen to whip up some edible music - "slow food", you may be sure, all local, all organic. Rossini was said to know the names of every regional cheese in the Italy of his time, and to be able to recognize each of them by one taste. Corporate fast food and globalization have destroyed most of those extravagant local flavors. I doubt Rossini would relish frozen scallops and gas-ripened tomatoes. He might well need a dose of his own music to keep his pallet fresh and cheerful.
