Music reviews of Monteverdi - L'incoronazione di Poppea / McNair, von Otter, Hanchard, Chance; Gardiner
Music Review: a voice teacher and early music fan
Rating: 5 Stars
MONTEVERDI AT SEVENTY FOUR YEARS OF AGE BRINGS FORTH AN OPERA FULL OF YOUTH AND VITALITY!!!
Even after 3 centuries,the music of Monteverdi glows with the passionate genius of a musical prophet. He was far ahead of his day in his conception of music as a dramatic, expressive art, and in the realization of that conception. He spurned the dry recitativos common to the opera of the day and instead gave the singers lovely melodies to sing. Short song-like passages were also included in the orchestral score. This opera demontrates well these traits of Monteverdi. Example: the lovely melody that recurs in Drusilla's song that I call her "happy" tune because she sings it first after Ottone shows her that he desires her instead of Poppea; unfortunately not true, but for the moment she believes it. Their are several tuneful melodies that become associated with the characters. The youth and vitality that shines forth through this opera are remarkable, emanating as they do from a 74 year old churchman.
This production under the direction of John Eliot Gardiner bears his stamp of excellence thruout the entire performance. The singers are outstanding both in their singing and their portrayal of their respective characters. Sylvia McNair is a gorgeous sensuous Poppea.I especially liked Michael Chance's "Ottone" the rejected suitor of Poppea ,and another countertenor Roberto Balconi was very good in his role as Nutrice (Octavia's nurse); Octavia was the Empress who is about to be set aside by Nerone in favor of Poppea.
This is another masterpiece by Gardiner!!!!!!And Monteverdi's final opera is truly GREAT!!!!
Description of Monteverdi - L'incoronazione di Poppea / McNair, von Otter, Hanchard, Chance; Gardiner
Monteverdi's final opera really is a masterpiece, but its libretto requires close attention--this is not an opera for casual listeners. There is no ideal recording of Poppea currently available--Gardiner's version, while flawed, has many admirable qualities. Sylvia McNair is a gorgeous, sensuous Poppea; Dana Hanchard is the finest Nero on record--her soprano expresses the role's capricious willfulness without having to shout the top notes; Catherine Bott is a particularly fine Drusilla. Much of the rest of the cast sounds uncomfortable with Monteverdi and sings far too operatically--the most unfortunate performance in this respect is from the great Anne Sofie Von Otter, whose stentorian Ottavia overwhelms Monteverdi's lightly scored music. Still, this recording's many fine points make it worthwhile listening. --Matthew WestphalMonteverdi, Claudio CDs
