Music reviews of Massenet: Cendrillon
Music Review: Never mind the book cover
Rating: 5 Stars
One should not judge a book by its cover. Here, the book cover is 'trashy' as one reviewer put it, quite right, and inappropriate and ridiculous really. And inside there is no libretto, only numbered queues to the first sung lines. Not helpful if you are not familiar with the opera. However, the Cinderella fable is known by most.
For about a third of the price of the original package (1979), you have the identical recording, with Julius Rudel conducting the Philharmonia Orchestra, of Massenet's Cendrillion, with the magical interpretation of Frederica von Stade. She is supported by a superb cast of some of the modern greats of the French repertory, as Nicolai Gedda, Ruth Welting, Jules Bastin and Jane Berbie. Other notable singers include Teresa Cahill and Elizabeth Bainbridge. This is a cast of stars, even in the minor roles.
Cendrillon exhibits Massenet's musical wit, his mastery of orchestral writing, and his sensitivity to the text and the vocal line. This recording is a fitting tribute.
This reissue is part of the 'great operas from Sony classical' series, distributed from Germany, in 2003. The series was cheaper when purchased directly from an Amazon branch in Europe. Of course, with the weakening USD, it may no longer be a bargain for Americans.
