Music reviews of Verdi - Aida / Caball? ? Domingo ? Cossotto ? Ghiaurov ? Cappuccilli ? Roni ? NPO ? Muti

Music Review: Yes, this is a great recording of the century
Rating: 5 Stars

Yes, this is indeed another great recording of the twentieth century, without the slightest trace of doubt. It is presumably the best stereo recording (main competitor, in my view, would be the Decca set with Tebaldi and Karajan; indeed, for contrasting views you really need both). Part of the success of this set lies with Montserrat Caball?, brilliant, full character and also perhaps the most beautiful sounding Aida on disc - and that is not to say that she lacks the required power. Cossotto is not much less successful in her slightly ferocious, menacing Amneris. Domingo's singing is intelligent and noble as always (though, and this is one of the few blemishes - Celeste Aida comes without a quiet ending). Cappucilli is good as well, but arguably lacks some subtlety.

Muti provides a red-blooded account, rather broad but full of passion. The greatest virtue, however, lies in the superb interaction with the soloists. The sound is big, round and dramatic, perfectly suited for the work. In sum, this is a truly magnificent account, probably the most dramatically stirring of them all. Strongly recommended.

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 McLellan
