Music reviews of Berlioz: Les troyens (Abridged)

Music Review: Good supplement to Davis/Vickers version for fans
Rating: 5 Stars

Hardly anything is abridged. Mostly just a few of the dances are gone. However, it is conducted much more quickly than I am used to--I learned the opera on the Colin Davis/Vickers version. That is still my first choice, it has much better sound, and it makes more of a few of the big moments (which Pretre takes too fast sometimes). Pretre's fast pacing actually works really well for some of the music, though. The quicker tempi give some more shape to certain moments that Davis's slower speeds can make to seem slack and un-rhythmic. Another really good reason to have this version is Gedda. His Enee is much more in the lighter-voiced French style, and makes a good contrast with Vickers' more Wagnerian approach. This is probably more the type of sound that Berlioz had in mind for Enee. The diction is also better throughout this recording than on the Davis/Vickers set. Marilyn Horne and Shirley Verrett, the two American leading ladies, have excellent diction, as does Gedda, of course.

Finally, I would like to say that the sound is quite good. Extremely good for Opera D'oro. It is clean and clear stereo, although the bass sounds a bit muffled at times, but it is not troubling. This is almost studio quality sound, and there is no audience noise.

Again, an enjoyable release, especially at this price you shouldn't pass up the chance to hear Gedda and Pretre's approach.
