4.0 out of 5 stars Viva Vivaldi, 15 Jul 2003

By	Anastasia Beaverhausen - See all my reviews

Vivaldi is a truly inspired master but I am afraid
he falls a little short of the mark here. Do not expect
a dramatic work of the quality of a 'L'Olimpiade' or
'Il Giustino'. What we do have is a thrilling, if
somewhat questionable, performance by a conductor who
reads more into a score which, to me, at
times comes across as uninspired. For me the balance
between the orchestra and the singers is often out and
the dynamics and accents are at times exaggerated.

The singers are well cast for their roles. The Rossane
has a very beautiful voice and technique, but resorts to
a vibratoless sounds that at times causes confusion
between her and the high counter-tenor. Ms Mingardo as
Melindo sings with a very muffled sound, but at the
same time sings with great inspiration and attention.
The counter-tenor, Mr Jourrousky as Zelim shows great
promise and I hope to hear a lot more of him. Ms
Laurens as Rustena sings her music most beautifully.
However, for me, the true stars of the show are
Ms Stutzmann and Mr Rolfe Johnson. Ms Stutzmann
makes the most, and then some more, of her almost
harridan-like character Damira. Her music, even
when at times tritely set by Vivaldi, turns into a
gala event. I just wish that the Mr Rolfe Johnson's
part had been more elaborately composed.

And there are so many beautiful, if un-dramatic,
moments in this score. Would I buy this recording again?
Yes! Do I like this opera as a piece of art? Yes!
So, if Opus 111 continues in this vein I think we are
Looking ahead to many more treats. ‘Farnace’ is slated to be
next, and I can hardly wait!
