Music reviews of Dolora Zajick - The Art of the Dramatic Mezzo-Soprano
Music Review: Refreshing new interpretations.......
Rating: 5 Stars
.........of many of the old war-horses and some rarities. I first heard Miss Zajick as Eboli in "Don Carlo" at the MET. Not since Simionato and Cossotto have I heard an Eboli of such magnitude and ease. Of course she recorded "O don fatale" here as well and how brilliantly! The Russian pieces as well as the aria by Cilea are little gems in the tiara that is this recording! Semiramide and Alceste prove that not only does she have the BOOM but also the florid abilities to sing Bel Canto. (In "Norma" she outshone Eaglen in the role of Adalgisa) The Verdi-pieces are well known and well done and Orfeo's lament left me yearning for a full recording! A long awaited recital that doesn't disappoint!
Description of Dolora Zajick - The Art of the Dramatic Mezzo-Soprano
Dolora Zajick is a real rarity--a true dramatic mezzo-soprano. Her voice, live and on disc, is huge and lush and absolutely even from the deepest chest tones all the way up to the high B natural. With a sound so ample, she's occasionally unsubtle, but on this recital CD, she sings Dalila's music with great gentleness and allure, while portraying Azucena (in Trovatore), Eboli (in Don Carlo) and the Princess (in Adriana Lecouvreur) with vigor, generous tone, and the correct rage. She also sings the Sleepwalking Scene from Verdi's Macbeth, rising to the high D-flat at its close softly--as Verdi wrote it and almost no soprano (let alone mezzo) can sing it. Zajick manages the coloratura from Arbace's aria in Rossini's Semiramide well enough, but it's clearly not her cup of tea. This is a thrilling recital; listening to it is like viewing a geyser--very, very impressive indeed. --Robert LevineGeneral CDs
