Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
The 1853 Venice premiere of La Traviata was one of the few failures the mature Verdi ever had--partly because its contemporary theme was too close to home for the audience; Marie Plessis, the original of Violetta and for a time the most popular courtesan in Paris, was only six years dead. The only Verdi opera entirely set indoors, and making minimal use of the chorus, it has always since between one of his most popular operas, and is perhaps his most affecting. Violetta is one of the most demanding parts he ever wrote in her mercurial shifts between joy, despair and practicality; Ileana Cotrubas's voice spans the whole range of effects that Verdi uses to portray Violetta, from coloratura to something close to speech, yet Cotrubas is always actress as well as singer, and always remembers what these effects are for. Domingo is a suitably ardent lover, and surprisingly good in the scenes where the spurned Alfredo turns nasty; Milnes is particularly fine in his duet with Violetta. asking her to break her heart, and learning pity. Carlos Kleiber has only ever recorded works where he was entirely satisfied with what he could do--here, as always, this approach guaranteed excellence. --Roz Kaveney
