Music reviews of Elina Garanca - Aria Cantilena
Music Review: wonderful voice-quality recording
Rating: 5 Stars
My first extensive exposure to her voice..a recording well worth hearing. I usually feel D-G comes up short with recordings, but this one is clean and honors the artist. Well worth repeat listening.
Description of Elina Garanca - Aria Cantilena
The young mezzo-soprano Elina Garanca has quickly established herself as one of the music world's newest stars through her performances with leading opera theaters and symphony orchestras around the world. She has captured critical and popular acclaim for her beautiful voice, intelligent musicianship, and compelling stage portrayals. For her debut recording on Deutsche Grammophon, Aria Cantilena, Elina Garanca has selected some of her favorite arias and scenes from current and future stage roles--ranging from the coloratura tour-de-force of Rossini's Cenerentola to the sparkling wit of Offenbach's Grande-Duchesse to the emotional intensity of Charlotte's "Letter Scene" from Massenet's Werther.Latvian mezzo-soprano Elina Garanca has quickly reached the top rank internationally. Her debut album for Deutsche Grammophon covers an unusually varied repertoire, sung in five languages. Besides the operatic material, Garanca includes a zarzuela aria, a Spanish song, and Villa-Lobos's ever-popular "Aria (Cantilena)" from Bachianas Basileiras no. 5 (hence the album's title). At any speed or dynamic level through a wide range, Garanca negotiates everything effortlessly. Such complete technical command is impressive, especially in such a young singer. It would have been even more exciting, however, to have that technique serve a truly individual vocal timbre and a specific, meaningful delivery of the words. Where are fervent Nicklausse, anguished Charlotte, sexy Isabella, and warm-hearted Cenerentola? These very different personalities come to life only intermittently in their arias. The Villa-Lobos (where Garanca isn't portraying a character and sings frequently on just "Ah") registers most strongly. DG gives Garanca terrific colleagues for the Rosenkavalier trio (sopranos Adrianne Pieczonka and Diana Damrau), magnificent support from the Staatskapelle Dresden under Fabio Luisi, and a CD booklet with eight photos of the glamorous young star. Promising she certainly is, but she still has some distance to travel artistically to deserve this kind of attention. --Roger Pines
