Music reviews of Donizetti: Lucrezia BorgiaMusic Review: Caballe's breakout performance Rating: 5 Stars
Once upon a time there was a spanish soprano singing in the hinterlands of European opera houses. She wasn't making all that much of a splash, but a few people said she was quite good. A performance of an fairly unknown Donizetti opera, Lucrezia Borgia, known only for a couple of exerpts, was scheduled for a concert performance at Carnegie Hall in New York City. The fairly well known soprano cancelled a few weeks before the show and a mad rush ensued to find a soprano to fill her shoes. This little known spanish soprano, Monserrat Caballe was hired and a star was born. She brought down the house, RCA rushed the cast of the concert into the studio and this recording was the result.
Ok, to start with Lucrezia Borgia turns out to be top draw Donizetti, one of his best operas, rediscovered in the new age of Bel Canto. The singers are some of the greatest voices of the era, Monserrat Caballe in absolutely glorious voice, before she started getting a bit slopppy, Shirley Verett at the height of her bel canto powers, Alfredo Kraus in fairly youthful voice (which is not to say that his singing wasn't wonderful into his 50s and 60s--if you don't believe me check out You Tube for a video of him at 57 singing the aria from Daughter of the Regiment with all 9 high Cs beautifully executed--younger tenors should sell their souls to sound this wonderful at any age let alone towards the end of a long career)and Ezio Flagello a stalwart at the Met in those days. The whole thing comes together quite well. It is a classic recording, challenged only by Sutherland/Bonynge's outting in the same opera. I prefer this one, but as a fan of Ms. Sutherland, this is a very good part for her and her recording is also quite good.
A classic performance from when they knew how to record opera.
