Music reviews of Verdi - Rigoletto / Sutherland, Pavarotti, Milnes, LSO, Bonynge
Music Review: Technical brilliance
Rating: 4 Stars
The singing here is of course very good, and you can trust the other stellar reviews to a certain degree. I will add that the atmospere is dark, which is a bonus. But taste differs. I mostly prefer another recording, by Angelo Questa, with Giuseppe Taddei as Rigoletto, Lina Pagliughi as Gilda and Ferruccio Tagliavini as the duke. That recording is older, from 1954; the sound is good, but not excellent. This is the only weakness, however. Taddei is much better than Milnes, with due respect to the latter. Taddei was the best dramatic baryton ever, even better than Ettore Bastianini when it comes to acting with the voice. For all Sutherland's brilliance, she doesn't sound like a young girl, but Lina Pagliughi does. Ferruccio Tagliavini was as good as Pavarotti and sounds as reckless as anybody could wish. Last but not least, the conducting by Questa is much much better than that of Bonynge, better waltzing and more dramatic nerve, better forward momentum. I am afraid being too crude here, but as I admire the singing of the present recording, I love the Questa one. The difference is - not absolute, though to a certain degree - between that of the pleasure of technical brilliance and production values on the side of the present recording and spiritual truth, excitement and fun on the side of the Taddei-Pagliughi-Tagliavini.

This Rigoletto has been around for so long it might be easy to take it for granted or skip it for a newer set. Don't! It features all three principals in superb voice, as well as pacing from Maestro Bonynge that is much heavier on drama than most of us expect from him. Sutherland may sound a bit mature (and mush-mouthed) for Gilda, but not only is she sympathetic, she sings gorgeously. And speaking of gorgeous, those familiar only with the Pavarotti of the last 10 years would be wise to hear him here--this is stylish, full-blooded, Golden Age singing. The beautifully round tone, the easy high notes, the impeccable diction, and the pointed characterization are unique. Milnes, in the title role, is also in splendid voice, offering smooth legato, brilliant, Verdian ring and real attention to the text. The ADD sound is excellent. No other modern recording offers the visceral thrill of this Rigoletto--go for it. --Robert Levine
