Music reviews of Verdi: I due Foscari

Music Review: Melodious and neglected early Verdi
Rating: 5 Stars

With "Nabucco", "I Lombardi" and "Ernani" already under his belt, Verdi could hardly be said to be a novice composer when he wrote "I Due Foscari" for Rome in 1844, and yet somehow this opera seems to have been relegated to the "interesting but justly neglected" category, as if it were an immature and unrewarding work. It is, in fact, a subtle and intimate opera, full of mellow, touching duets and relying more upon plangent melody and perecptive musical characterisation rather than dramatic events - of which there are, admittedly, precious few. The cast and recording quality are of the highest order - typical of the whole Philips/Gardelli early Verdi project - and while I do not completely agree with earlier reviewers that Ricciarelli and Cappuccilli are flawless - their vocal production is at times a little breathy and deliberate - they are both very fine and Carreras is undoubtedly in his youthful, peak form (as is the young Ramey). Hearing this set might prompt you to sample the other recordings featuring Carreras in that excellent series: "Un Giorni di Regno" (1973); "Il Corsaro" (1975); "La Battaglia di Legnano" (1977) and "Stiffelio (1979), coupling Carreras with a succession of wonderful leading ladies: Ricciarelli, Caballe, Norman and Sass. These sets form the best of Carreras' recorded legacy and with the demise of studio recordings of opera, we can perhaps now feel even more appreciative of a series which certainly does not sound its age. (Those recordings where another tenor was used - a young Domingo in "I Lombardi" (1971) and "I Masnadieri" with Bergonzi - are equally recommendable.)

The opera itself is short at an hour and three-quarters and leaves you wanting more. There is mercifully little "rum-ti-tum" stuff typical of second-rate early Verdi; rather there is much gentle, delicate scoring that makes extensive use of melodic themes. An interesting and unusual addition to anyone's Verdi collection.
