Music reviews of Monteverdi - Combattimento / Ciofi, Villazón, Lehtipuu, Le Concert d'Astrée, Haďm (W/DVD)

Music Review: Baroque music-who would have thought?
Rating: 5 Stars

Being a huge,huge fan of Rolando Villazon I bought this CD just because I love him so much. I was surprised to find that this music is very good to listen to. It can't top the opera arias but there is something about it that sounds like Gregorian chant and being a Catholic I miss the latin so I found that I did really enjoy this. You should watch the DVD first that comes with the CD and you will not be so intimidated by it if this is your first foray into baroque music as it was mine. Rolando is a very funny guy anyway and his humor helps to qualm the stuffiness you would expect{but don't get} with this type of recording. You can almost imagine that you are in a great room and these madrigals are being performed for the first time in front of royalty or leading citizens of the day-what a feeling to be transported back to that time.

This surprising CD may cause some raised eyebrows from Monteverdi purists, but they are sure to be taken in and convinced by the performances. Emmanuelle Haim is an early-Baroque specialist who believes in a full-bodied approach to the repertoire--no white-voiced, lightly-touching-the-music for her--and she makes it work without ever distorting or going against what is on the printed page. This recording is her boldest yet. Haim uses the warm-toned young tenor Rolando Villazon and soprano Patrizia Ciofi, both known for their roles in 19th-century opera, and Topi Lehtipuu, a fuller-voiced tenor than usual for Monteverd,i in some of the composer's most dramatic works, and each comes brilliantly to life. The long Il combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda is an exciting narrative of war, death, and forgiveness. With Villazon as the narrator and Haim's instrumentalists offering big-boned playing, the result is almost cinematic. The shorter pieces are just as effective, with Patrizia Ciofi's expressive "Ohimé" opening the mock lament "Ohimé ch'io cado" with remarkable emphasis and Topi Lehtipuu as involved and musical in his solos as he is duetting with Villazon. This CD will make early-music people appreciate operatic voices and opera lovers pay more attention to 17th-century music. A breathtaking disc. --Robert Levine
