3.0 out of 5 stars Suspended judgment, 13 Oct 2006
By R. Burgess (London UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Antonio Sacchini was for about ten years house composer to the Italian opera in London - at the King's Theatre, Haymarket during the 1770s. The aristocratic patrons of opera in London had conservative tastes which Sacchini did little to upset at a time of new thinking and reform. His dramatic style is broadly Gluckian, for example in its use of orchestrally accompanied recitative, but so far as one tell from this rare recording of one of his works lacks Gluck's fire and impetus. Everything passes by pleasantly and agreeably with elegant Italianate melody and sensitive harmony, but somehow it only fitfully takes off.
'Oedipus at Colonus,' an unusal choice of subject, was certainly much admired in its own day. It was not performed until after Sacchini's death at Paris in 1787, but then continued to be played for nearly half a century, attracting the favour of Berlioz among others. The present recording is taken from a semi-staged performance by Opera Lafayette of Washington, DC and is tastefully done with accomplished singers and orchestra among whom Francois Loup deploys a fine bass voice in the title-role. The recording lacks "body," the singers being set quite far back, and needs to be played at a high level. This lack of impact may account for the generally pallid impression that the work itself makes, but at Naxos' bargain basement price anybody interesting in exploring the byways of 18th century opera is not going to be seriously disappointed. I wish I could be more enthusiastic.
