Music reviews of Leoncavallo: Pagliacci

Music Review: Bocelli delivers perfectly
Rating: 5 Stars

Andrea Bocelli, the world's most popular tenor (and Best selling) and pop sansation as well, has recorded his fifth full length Opera Recording; Leoncavallo's Pagliacci; which has the opera world's most famous tenor aria, Vesti la giubba, and it is quite good. Bocelli has also recorded Massenet; Werther, Verdi; Il Trovatore, Puccini; La Boheme, And Puccini; Tosca. He also has a sixed coming Mascagni: Cavalleria Rusticana. Bocelli who did not go the traditional route into the Opera world has garnered much critical disdain and at the same time, much adoration of the people (not unlike Marino Lanza). Bocelli has recorded a series of pop crossover albums that just drive the opera critics out of there (collective) minds. Andrea is another in the line of the peoples tenor, he transcend's the opera world and bring Opera to the general public. In Leoncavallo: Pagliacci it is the story of the clown (thus the clown makeup), who's wife cheets on him, who try's to laugh it off but the tears come, In the end he kills her. Bocelli has a very beautiful voice that expresses much emotion. His tone and diction are excellent and his Volume is much better then the critics claim, he is always moving, his singing touches one's heart. Bocelli is supported hear, by an excellent cast; Ana Maria Martinez plays the role of Nedda the wife of the Clown. She is a soprano and she has a perfectly complimentary voice to Bocelli. Roberto Accurso, Francesco Piccoli and Stefano Antonucci all sing well hear. Conductor Steven Mercurio leads the way and he always works well with Bocelli. Vesti la Giubba is the highlight its and Bocelli delivers perfectly. This is a must have for all Bocelli fan's.

Description of Leoncavallo: Pagliacci

THE FIFTH OPERA RECORDING FROM THE WORLD'S BEST SELLING TENOR ANDREA BOCELLI. Pagliacci is Leoncavallo's much loved short opera of romance, jealously and revenge among a group of traveling players. This recording features an outstanding cast, conducted by Steven Mercurio, and starring international superstar Andrea Bocelli in the role of the clown Canio and rising star Ana Maria Martinez as the doomed Nedda. Known the world over as "Cav & Pag," Pagliacci is often paired with Mascagni's Cavalleria Rusticana and performed together in one evening. These short operas are two of the best loved and most frequently performed operas. Pagliacci, the first of the two releases on Decca is presented with full texts and translations. Cavalleria Rusticana (also featuring Andrea Bocelli) will be released in early 2007
It was only a matter of time before the world's most popular tenor would record the opera with the world's most famous tenor aria, and here it is. The story of the clown, betrayed by his wife, who must laugh through his tears and who finally loses it and kills her onstage is great fodder for big-voiced tenors with great temperaments. Sadly, Bocelli is a small-voiced tenor whose temperamental outbursts do not sound particularly menacing or moving; one never gets the feeling of a strong man brought to his knees, and his effort on some exposed high notes is uncomfortable. As his wife, Nedda, soprano Ana Maria Martinez is terrific and she and baritone Roberto Accurso deliver a sensual duet. As the villain Tonio, Stefano Antonucci sings well but is small-voiced: Indeed, the whole cast appears to have been chosen for their light sounds so that the balance between grander-voiced singers and Bocelli would not be too pronounced. Conductor Steven Mercurio leads somewhat slowly and without the mania needed for the final moments, but he and Bocelli make the most of the big aria, "Vesti la giubba," its expansive tempi just right for the emotional content. Fans of Bocelli will require this; others would do better with the performance with Jussi Bjoerling or Pavarotti's first, Mascagni: Cavalleria Rusticana / Leoncavallo: Pagliacci. --Robert Levine
