Music reviews of Verdi - Aida / Caball? ? Domingo ? Cossotto ? Ghiaurov ? Cappuccilli ? Roni ? NPO ? Muti
Music Review: Near the top of the pack
Rating: 4 Stars
This is one of my favorite recordings of Aida. Vocally, it is terrific, with Caballe and Cossotto particularly magnificent. Cossotto again proves herself to be perhaps THE Verdi mezzo (although Shirley Verrett is strong competition for that "title), and she and Caballe blend together magnificently (as they did in their recording of Verdi's Requiem). Caballe gives one of her best performances on disc; her pianissimi are as exquisite here as in any of her best recordings, and dramatically she is stronger than one might have expected. Domingo is an expectedly solid Radames. My only complaint is with Muti's conducting, which I feel is too self-conscious and self-indulgent in his extremes of tempi. He certainly gives Caballe the space to float her beautiful top notes, expecially in "O patria mia," but his hard charging attack in other places leave an overall impression of something less-than-organic.
While I will return often to this recording, it still does not come close to what I consider the definitive recording by Solti with Leontyne Price and Rita Gorr as the best Aida and Amneris, respectively, and Vickers in one of his strongest performances.
Description of Verdi - Aida / Caball? ? Domingo ? Cossotto ? Ghiaurov ? Cappuccilli ? Roni ? NPO ? Muti
Behind the pyramids and the elephants, the long lines of prisoners of war and of slaves carrying booty, the choral shouts of "Glory to Egypt," and the splendid brass sounding the Triumphal March, Aida is the story of a love triangle: Aida, an Ethiopian princess who has become a slave in Egypt; Amneris, an Egyptian princess; and Radam?s, the Egyptian general they both love (Aida secretly). There are ironies and conflicts: How can she love a man who is the enemy of her country, but who says he has fought and conquered for the sake of her love? It is suitable only for the biggest opera houses and therefore demands voices capable of great power as well as emotional expressiveness. Montserrat Caball?, Pl?cido Domingo, and Fiorenza Cossotto provide such voices, and Ricardo Muti conducts with a sense of drama and dynastic glory. --Joe McLellanAll Works by Verdi CDs
