Music reviews of Verdi - Stiffelio / Carreras · Sass · Manuguerra · Ganzarolli · ORF Symphony Orchestra and Chorus Vienna · Gardelli

Music Review: A neglected delight
Rating: 5 Stars

Written in Verdi's most fertile period as a composer, "Stiffelio" has undergone all kinds of indignities including neglect, adulteration (sic), and even total rewritng as "Aroldo" in order to make it acceptable to narrow-minded crtics, censors and the public itself. While the plot is mildly threadbare, its themes are exceptionally adult and moving: adultery, temptation, revenge, honour, fidelity, forgiveness are all treated in a deeply sympathetic and psychologically penetrating fashion. Having seen a sucessful production at the Royal Opera with José Cura and Sondra Radvanovsky, I can testify as to its effectiveness as entertainment, and here it has the best possible advocacy in a cast headed by another great José, one Señor Carreras singing at his absolute peak and partnered by two wonderful artists in Sylvia Sass and Matteo Manuguerra. This was the kind of cast we began to take for granted in the series of early Verdi operas so ably and idiomatically conducted by Lamberto Gardelli, but only the perspective of time allows us now to see what a blessing that enterprise was.

"Stiffelio" is certainly no less tuneful and dramatic than the other operas Verdi wrote between 1849 and 1853, and contains many hints of greater things to come in its characterisation of an honourable but volatile man prone to violent outbursts prompted by feelings of jealously and emotional inadequacy - yes; Othello - and the culmination of the opera can be piercingly moving when Stiffelio puts aside thoughts of revenge to offer his wife forgiveness. Lina herself, is an oddly weak, vacillating woman as written in the libretto, but Verdi's music gives her a quiet, pitiable desperation which hints at the alienation resulting from her husband's neglect of her while pursuing his vocation. Sass is deeply affecting and vocally commanding; a lovely match to Carreras's on-the-edge instability.

Orchestrally, too, so much of "Stiffelio" is proleptic of greater things to come but still lovely in itself. The opening to Act 2 is a case in point: a stirring, arresting orchestral introduction followed by a superb, lilting string accompaniment in parts to Lina's wonderful aria "Ah, dagli scanni eterei"; a scene which is the forebear to Amelia's "Ecco l'orrido campo" from "Un ballo in maschera". It must have been a bitter pill to Verdi to see so beautiful a work thwarted and spurned.

Already over thirty years old, this is not a recording likely to be surpassed.
