Hit: 4 Stars
When measured against his operas such as Norma, I Puritani, or La Somnambula, or even his operas such as I Capuleti e i Montecchi and Il Pirata, it is easy to see why this is a lesser-known work. Beatrice is a hand-wringing victim, not a blazing heroine like Norma or even unhinged by love like Elvira (I Puritani). True, she's married to a human fiend, (excellently sung by the unknown Cornelius Opthof), and her true love (sung somewhat less ardently than usual by Luciano Pavarotti) turns out to be a [...], but still, most of her music is merely sad and full of self-pity or self-sacrifice at the end.
This kind of music is hard to put any real fire to, and Sutherland doesn't. She makes a gorgeous sound, and she does droopy and pathetic real well, but the whole production sounds a little detached, as if everybody (including the orchestra) wishes they were doing something else. The two exceptions are the aforementioned Opthof, and mezzo Josephine Veasey, who puts some life into the role of the wicked husband's evil mistress.
Maybe it's the material--even the great composers can't be expected to hit a home run every time. This 1966 Decca recording has acceptable sound and there is a libretto, although it doesn't have any essay about the opera itself. It's not bad, it's just generic bel canto.
