Music reviews of Donizetti: Don Pasquale

Music Review: Truly wonderful - how I wish this has a DVD release!
Rating: 5 Stars

From Decca's 'Original' series, this early 1960's recording of Donizetti's opera buffa Don Pasquale is a true jewel from every sense of the word.
If you consider the cast, you will easily see that the lead roles were being filled by probably the 'best suited' singers - Fernando Corena in the title role, his unique vocal style of basso buffa and his similarly 'buffa' looks; Gabriella Sciutti with her slyly sensuous bel canto smoky soprano and 'child woman' looks; Juan Oncina with his lyrical tenor with slight under tone of pathos and heartily earnest good looks...
Even on CD, you can visualise the wonderful musical drama by these lead characters. I have not heard the baritone before, but must say that he also gave a wonderful performance under the baton of the great Kertecz.
If you compare this with the modern production available on DVD with Juan Diego Florez, Isabel Rey and Ruggero Raimondi, immediately you would see that the modern production could not gain on single inch of ground over this 1963 recording. JDF is a great bel canto tenor, but his Ernesto could not convey the sense of pathos and loss in the middle section of the opera to the extent of Juan Oncina. While he is a great Tonio and lots of other Donizetti heroes, Ernesto could not be said to be his best role. Ruggero Raimondi is clearly past his prime in that 21st century recording on DVD. Isabel Rey simply is no match for Sciutti.
With three main leads in such good balance backed up by a wonderful orchestra and superb conductor, this 'Original' release of Decca's former LP Don Pasquale is a winner through and through.
