Music reviews of Verdi - Rigoletto / Chernov · Studer · Pavarotti · Scandiuzzi · D. Graves · D. Croft · MET · Levine

Music Review: great performance
Rating: 5 Stars

It is one of those performances that will leave you with scenes playing in your mind. James Levine's intense presentation gave me a "was there" feeling. More Verdi, Maestro Levine! This cast is almost ideally assembled. First of all, Vladimir Chernov joins the small, distinguished lineup of great Rigolettos along with Milnes, Cappuccilli and Bruson. He brings unusual feeling of utter despair and sadness to the character. Rather than showing a bitter jester enraged by what's been done to his daughter, and thus making his murderous intent a crime of passion, Chernov cleverly conveys the feeling of sorrow and gloom that makes this intent an inevitable fateful outcome. In the great scene with Marullo "Povero Rogoletto," for instance, the feeling of realization of what's happened is brought up early in Rigoletto's sad attempt to seem cheerful. Magnificent performance. Luciano Pavarotti is, as always, a ravishing Duca - he practically plays himself. Gone are the sentimental romantic feelings, this Duke is after one thing - skirt chasing. Flamboyant and ostentatious, just what we want to hear in this anti-hero. Reading the reviews, I detected some antagonism for Cheryl Studer. Well, ok, so she does not sound like an innocent girl. But neither did Callas. This Gilda is just a means to put Rigoletto over the edge. If she was "too innocent," it would bring about his outrage, but her being more "human" makes him lose any affection for the humankind and that's exactly what we hear. The resulting chemistry between Studer and Chernov is believable. For a truly angelic portrayal of Gilda, turn to Ileana Cortubas. Very nice prophetic Monterone from Ildebrando d'Arcangelo. Anyone would shrink back in fear from his curse! It's my first hearing of Roberto Scandiuzzi and I am very impressed. Smooth slightly "demonic" basso, perfect for the role of Sparafucile. And what about true rising stars taking smaller roles! Dwayne Croft, here singing Marullo, could easily make a fine Rigoletto himself, and Danyce Graves' Maddalena is irresistibly seductive. A pleasant appearance by Heidi Grant Murphy makes this recording even better (check her out in Idomeneo, fans!) Overall, a bliss plus a great, well balanced recording by DG.
