Music reviews of Verdi - Rigoletto / Sutherland, Pavarotti, Milnes, LSO, Bonynge
Music Review: Great singing and good listening
Rating: 4 Stars
This is a recording with incredible singing from three great voices: Sutherland, Pavarotti, and Milnes. It is simply an aural pleasure to hear. Great character interpretation you will not find here as in the classic EMI recording under Serafin where Tito Gobbi simply sounds like the character of Rigoletto, inflecting every phrase as if he were really living the drama. By contrast, Milnes simply pours forth beautiful resonant tone and with much subtlety in his singing but without real character definition. Ditto for Sutherland, but what resonance, roundness of tone and bloom in the voice! That is the pleasure. Sutherland sounds a bit matronly for a part which should be more of a girlish soubrette but that is a small price to pay for gorgeous soprano singing. Scotto brings more word-pointing to her Gilda under the baton of Rafael Kubelik on DG. Cotrubas sounds more like a definitive Gilda with her limpid lyric voice on the DG recording conducted by Carlo Maria Giulini. As for Pavarotti, I believe the Duke was his best role, perfectly suited to his voice and this, his first recording of it is better than the second one which came a decade later. I reach for this Decca recording for the beautiful, albeit somewhat mindless singing. Also, the conducting is very spirited and lively under Richard Bonynge-perhaps his best conducted recording.
Description of Verdi - Rigoletto / Sutherland, Pavarotti, Milnes, LSO, Bonynge
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 LevineGeneral CDs
