4.0 out of 5 stars vocal splendour, 22 Jul 2001
By A Customer
This recording of Rigoletto is stronger on vocal splendour than drama. Cornell MacNeil is in magnificient voice, large, dark, roomy. He sings extremely well but his portrayal is a bit bland, the bitterness and heartbreak of the hunchback not much in evidence. Joan Sutherland as Gilda, is in ravishing voice but has little to offer beyond melancholy. Renato Cioni is an attractive duke and Cesare Siepi a rather sympathetic Spara fucile but again there is little characterization. Chorus and orchestra are very good. Maestro Sanzogno's conducting is elegant but lacks dramatic bite and at times is distractingly slow. Full text, excellent sound. For sheer vocal beauty this set is hard to beat and for that reason it is worth having in your collection especially at that price.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Feast For The Ears, 2 April 2002
By A Customer
For those who aren't familiar with Rigoletto it is Verdi at his dramatic best. A wonderful story of murder gone wrong.

This recording featuring Sutherland has wonderful clarity. It's smooth, dramatic and an absolute delight to listen to.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the most vocally resplendent Rigolettos ever recorded, 3 Nov 2001
Short and sweet: Cioni has a beautiful lyric tenor voice. Sutherland, of course, is a hard one to beat, if one likes larger, more mature voices in this role... and I like larger voices myself. Which brings us to Cornell MacNeil-
my main reason for buying this album. His voice was a huge, soaring instrument and was the very definition of a Verdi baritone when in his prime. He could stun the listener with the power and richness of his high notes, then turn to a pillowy soft pianissimo that still makes me shake my head with wonder. How did he do that? I disagree with those who say he scarcely provided any vocal coloration in this recording, but then, MacNeil's glorious voice has always clouded my judgement. I love Nino Sanzogno's conducting for this opera. Maybe it's not typical middle Verdi style, but it points out beauties in the score to my ears I miss in other recordings.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty Good
This is Sutherland's first Rigoletto. She is in good form. Cioni, the tenor, is all right, but not very convincing. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Sutherland, MacNeil and a negligible tenor
This is the "Rigoletto" for people who are not particularly interested in "Rigoletto".

The main draw, naturally, is Joan Sutherland. Read more
