Music reviews of Donizetti: L'Elisir d'Amore

Music Review: Buy it, Treasure it
Rating: 5 Stars

I once heard "La Stupenda" sing this role at the Met, and she stopped the show dead in its tracks after every one of her arias -- something I've never witnessed nor even heard of, at the Met or anywhere else, before or since.

It's hard to believe now, given its current huge popularity, but the bel canto repertoire was dead in the water until mid-20th century, when the three greatest coloratura sopranos ever -- Sutherland, Maria Callas, and Beverly Sills -- resuscitated it. I've never been one to force-feed opera to anyone, but any time I need examples to refute the general misconception that opera is unlistenable, my two go-to CDs are Sills's CBC recording of "The Magic Flute", and this one. It's difficult for opera-ignorants to appreciate most operatic performances, but a great coloratura demonstration will knock the socks off of anybody.

I can't imagine how anyone could ever record a better performance of L'Elisir than this one. Buy it, absorb it, treasure it.

And buy the CBC "Magic Flute" too, if you can find a copy -- when Sills hits those high Fs in "O Zittre Nicht" as if anybody could do it, you'll want to get up and cheer right there in your livingroom.
