Music reviews of Verdi: Otello

Music Review: A truly great 'Otello' from Domingo and company, La Scala, 1976
Rating: 5 Stars

(Note: This is a repeat of my review of the original, cheaper Opera d'Oro release, which has no libretto.)

This same live performance from Dec. 7, 1976, has been around on varoius labels (Myto, Melodram) but here is at bargain price from Opera d'Oro. All the companies use the same radio broadcast, in good stereo, from La Scala, with differences in remastering. In this case the sound stage is a bit cramped because someobdy has rolled off the treble, but in other versions the treble is irritatingly bright, so this is a good compromise.

Carlos Kleiber conducted only a handful of operas, and Otello was one of his most acclaimed. It was heard only a few times at the Met becasue the conductor walked out on the production soon after the premiere. He made no commercial recordings, so this one, plus some other pirated recordings on other occasions, is all we will ever have (unless DG is hiding something in its vaults). I have heard three Kleiber Otellos and consider this the best, thanks to Domingo's youthful, impassioned singing--probably his best ever in this role--and Freni's incomparable Desdemona, which can also be heard on another Otello from Opera d'Oro with Jon Vickers under Karajan. It too is excellent in every way.

Kleiber took a swift, tense, tightly controlled approach to the score. He did wonders with the La Scala orchestra and chorus, who sound disciplined yet highly committed. This is a very Italian night at the opera and includes a loud argument in the audience at one point! The sound gets congested during climaxes, but on the whole this is one of the better pirated recordings on the market, not up to studio quality but highly listenable anyway. As a performance it stands among the very best on disc.
