Music reviews of Lamenti

Music Review: Quite a mixed bag..
Rating: 3 Stars

This album is well engineered from an acoustic standpoint, and there are some outstanding moments. However, like several of the other reviewers, I was puzzled over some of the choices. Certainly Gens, Jaroussky and a few others sing well in this style and acquit themselves admirably of the demands. There are however other tracks that are simply mortifying from a stylistic viewpoint. That said, some of the non-baroque singers do a fantastic job of interpreting the pieces with fire, interest, and passion that is often lacking from purists. While I cannot advocate this recording as an outstanding example of vocal style in the baroque, there are some excellent voices and interesting choices. Additionally, it sounds at times as if cathedral level reverb was added to some tracks and not others. Perhaps there were multiple recording spaces used? It is imminently distracting in the Lamento Della Ninfa.

Description of Lamenti

Emmanuelle Haïm follows her acclaimed 2006 recording of Monteverdi's Combattimento with an unusual and inventive program on the theme of the lamento, a literary and dramatic form that found its 17th-century musical archetype in Monteverdi's celebrated Lamento d'Arianna.

Emmanuelle Haïm has taken great care in choosing nine of today's top soloists to perform these demanding works. Superstars Natalie Dessay and Rolando Villazón both appear in typically stunning form, while countertenor sensation Philippe Jaroussky and the fast-rising American mezzo Joyce DiDonato (recently signed exclusively to EMI/Virgin Classics) show why they are among opera's hottest up-and-comers. Véronique Gens, Marie-Nicole Lemieux, Topi Lehtipuu, Laurent Naouri, Christopher Purves, and Simon Wall round out the star-studded cast!
