4.0 out of 5 stars A Fine Budget-Priced 'Turco in Italia', 8 Jan 2006
By J Scott Morrison (Middlebury VT, USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This recording of Rossini's masterful comedy 'Il Turco in Italia' has very strong competition. There is the classic Callas recording again available on CD, and there is a recording of Cecilia Bartoli in a La Scala production conducted by Riccardo Chailly. There's another recording from La Scala that features Monserrat Caballé, but she's not at her best in that recording, although the male singers are topnotch. Further, there is a recently released DVD of a Zurich Opera production with Bartoli again singing (and acting in her inimitable fashion) Fiorilla. The DVD is a high-concept production that might not appeal to some although I found it delightful.

This production, from the provincial Teatro Marrucini di Chieti features young but, on the whole, excellent singers. It's actually quite a good recording, although there is not the final polish that one expects from a major house. Further, no libretto is furnished, as is typical of Naxos opera recordings; a libretto (in Italian only) can be found on the Internet, though, at http://www.karadar.com/Librettos/rossini_turco.html, if one is inclined to follow along. There is quite a good and detailed synopsis provided in the Naxos booklet.

When 'Turco in Italia' was premièred in 1814 the Milanese audience, who had warmly embraced the recent 'L'Italiana in Algeri,' thought it was a rehash of that opera, and they apparently felt they were being cheated. But in fact this is an entirely new opera, with no borrowings from any of Rossini's earlier outings, and further, it may well be his comic masterpiece. There was confusion, also, for many years about the opera because Rossini revised it repeatedly after its première and the whole thing got confused as to what was original and genuine and what wasn't. Indeed, in this performance the cavatina for Geronio's 'Vado in traccia d'una zingara' is actually by an unknown composer other than Rossini. Still, both in plotting and in characterization (not to speak of musically) this is one of Rossini's best efforts. The opera lay unperformed for many decades before Maria Callas resurrected it in 1950.

So, my advice would be that if you want a budget version of this opera, i.e., don't want to spend the money for the other CDs or the new DVD, and don't necessarily need an English translation of the libretto, this one would do nicely.

Scott Morrison
