Music reviews of Handel - Ariodante / von Otter, Dawson, Cangemi, Podles, Croft, Sedov, Coadou, Les Musiciens du Louvre, Minkowski
Music Review: Ravishing performance
Rating: 5 Stars
IMHO, the negative comments of some about "Scherza infida" and the tempi of many arias are dead wrong. The greatness of this production is due to its tremendous sensitivity to the dramatic possibilities of each aria. You never feel that any of the great arias of Act 2 and 3 are static. Nor do you ever feel that the Da Capo offers the same experience as the aria's beginning. The singers and accompaniment seize on every nuance, varying the intensity and focus of the emotions by modulating emphasis, intonation, loudness, tempo, pauses, & balance with the orchestra, so that the entire aria is an unfolding of the emotions.
To me, Minkowski's "Scherza infida" is an overpowering expression of a simply crushed young man thrown down in a moment from the height of his youthful idealism and romantic passion on the eve of his wedding. Ariodante's joyful aria (Dopo notte) and duet in Act 3 are also thrillingly emotional. (And the balance of the voices is perfect in all of the duets.)
It's definitely worth listening to this with libretto in hand, since the singing and acting is so lovingly matched to the word. And this is true of every role!
Description of Handel - Ariodante / von Otter, Dawson, Cangemi, Podles, Croft, Sedov, Coadou, Les Musiciens du Louvre, Minkowski
Ariodante is one of Handel's most consistently fine operas. Yes, yes, there are whole strings of da capo arias, but they are so dramatically apt and melodically interesting that things never get tiresome. Harmonia Mundi recently released a fine recording of this opera (conducted by Nicholas McGegan and starring "La Divina" Lorraine Hunt), yet this is even better. Anne Sofie Von Otter has, in recent years, sometimes oversung in Baroque music, but her tone here is ideal--heroic and powerful yet pure. Lynne Dawson is simply spectacular throughout, her coloratura, tone, and emotional range being everything one could wish for. Contralto Ewa Podles makes a genuinely menacing arch-villain in a role taken too often by flimsy falsettists. There's not a weak link in the cast, and Mark Minkowski's conducting is consistently exciting. There is no better recording of a Handel opera out there. --Matthew WestphalGeneral CDs
