Music reviews of Cecilian Vespers
Music Review: I'll Bet It Was a Stunning Concert...
Rating: 4 Stars
... but on CD much of this huge performance of Alessandro Scarlatti's "Cecilian Vespers" sounds underrehearsed. Each of the soloists has a few ragged spots and a few bars of suspect tuning. Frankly the soloists' voices don't assemble well, to my ears, into any kind of vocal balance; they are all on their own trajectories. The chorus is solid enough, but not beautiful in sound. Nick McGegan is a masterful conductor of Handel, always bringing out the best from his Philharmonia baroque Orchestra and Chorus, but here, again to my ears, he makes Scarlatti sound far too Handelian, English rather than Italian. The bottom line is that this recording doesn't approach the musical standard set by Concerto Italiano and Il Seminario Musicale. It's worth hearing if you're a voracious Scarlatti fan, but if not, you might consider buying:
"La Santissima Trinita" - Europa Galante
"La Giuditta" - Alessandro Stradella Consort
"Inferno" - Modo Antiquo
"Stabat Mater" - Theater of Early Music with Emma Kirkby
"Sedecia" - Il Seminario Musicale with Gerard Lesne
"Cantatas, Handel - Scarlatti" - Il Seminario Musicale with Sandrine Piau
