Music reviews of Puccini: Tosca (complete opera) - Performed by Maggio Musicale Fiorentino Orchestra - Zubin Mehta, Andrea Bocelli,
Music Review: Clear as a bell
Rating: 5 Stars
Tosca has been one of my favoirtes for over 40 years. Saw it at the Met, and in Philly, where else? Best memory was my first date with my wife of 35 years -- we went to the school library and spent Saturday afternoon sitting at the turn tables listening to it together with headsets on. She only told me years later it was excruciating because the headsets pressed on her glasses and made her head hurt! But she suffered through it. Her favorite tenor today: Andrea Bocelli. He handles the part beautifully. The recording is clear as a bell -- even the recording of the bells recording is a nice touch. I will have to listen to this many more times to decide how it compares to some of my other favorites, but this is truly beautiful music.
Description of Puccini: Tosca (complete opera) - Performed by Maggio Musicale Fiorentino Orchestra - Zubin Mehta, Andrea Bocelli,
This is Tosca lite. The role of the tenor lead, Mario Cavaradossi, is quite heavy and strenuous in Puccini's score; in their primes, for instance, it suited the robust, darker tone of Placido Domingo over the slender, lighter sound of Luciano Pavarotti. Andrea Bocelli's voice is slenderer still--as the world knows, it's a beautiful pop singer's sound with an opera singer's top notes and feel. As a result, the orchestra in this brand new recording is kept pretty far in the background, and all of the soloists' voices are closely miked, with Bocelli's particularly forward. His fans will not mind the acoustic, and they probably also will bask in his still-lovely, ingratiating sound, despite some obvious strain (and, at times, off-pitch singing). His rendition of the famous last act aria, "E lucevan le stele," is ravishing--long-breathed, delicate, and sensitive without resorting to melodrama. As for the rest of the cast, Fiorenza Cedolins is an involved, if generic, Tosca who will not erase memories of Maria Callas, and baritone Carlo Guelfi sings the evil Baron Scarpia with an appropriate snarl. Zubin Mehta leads the orchestra in a reading which complements his tenor's style--there's more personal sadness than grand overstatement. This is for Bocelli fans--millions of them. --Robert LevinePuccini, Giacomo CDs
