Music reviews of Verdi: Macbeth

Music Review: Give this one a try
Rating: 5 Stars

The 'Listener from Santa Fe' is surely a very shrewed operatic fan. His comments are fair and interesting. But I would like you to try this recording which for me represents the most exciting version of this ingenious score. True, Zampieri is no Callas; she hits the notes from below (just as Callas used to hit them from above and at times not hit them at all) and only barely survives some of the coloratura of the part of Lady Macbeth. But what a voice! She is a strange maniacal Lolita, whose voice has a really sexy quality that one rarely encounters in opera. I do wonder if any listeners have heard her in other parts, since her recording repertoire is so small - but for me, pace Calas, she is the best Lady on record.

Bruson is a singer for whom I have special affection; he is not one who tries to dramatize the part. His strength is what to my ears sounds like a beautiful tone, a cast iron legato (what breath!), a dark tone that is entirely appropriate for this opera and an ability to convey emotion (especially fear) through the tiniest vocal nuances. Maybe Cappuccilli and especially Milnes have a more glorious voice in the competing versions, but for me this opera is one that really draws the best out of Bruson. This, along with his Rigoleeto and (hard to find) Boccanegra are maybe his greatest achievements on record.

Sinopoli divides opinions. Parts of the score are conducted ridiculously slowly, but I forgive him everything because he (more than Muti or Abbado) makes the witches music truly phrenetic, meaningful - a true Nordic phantasmagoria as imagined by the relatively young Giuseppe Verdi, a genius about to achieve his promise.

With all respect to our listeners from Santa Fe, please take this strong recommendation from London and try this version of Verdi's first Shakespearean masterpiece.
