Free Music Review: A truly wonderful live performance, with only weak point in the sound recording.
Hit: 5 Stars
This is a recording of a live performance made more than 10 years ago.
The sound is a bit distant, but clear enough.
The performance itself is simply first class. The protagonists all performed well: Raul Gimenez is a true bel canto tenor, but of course, grossly underrated. He may not have the looks, but his voice and technique are truly first class. Whether in solos or in ensembles, his singing are just right on the spot - not one bit more, nor one jot less. Listening to him sing, you really know why the style earned its name 'bel canto'. The musical lines just simply float with his voice. His Elviro is every bit on par as any other top performer of this role these days. Organasova is no less good vocally than Giemenez. Yes, she is a lyrical spinto, not lyrical coloratura. But her coloratura is so well balanced that you would not hear one bit of jarring tone from her. Also, her voice balanced out well with that of the secondary soprano role sung by Uighur soprano Dilber, who is true lyrical coloratura. Listen to her solo in Act II, and listen how the audience responded with thundering applause. I don't hear any shrillness in her voice in this recording. Rather, it is so light and girlish that you would at once realise that she is a contrasting character with Organsanova's principle role Amina. But she does rise up to the occasion in that single solo aria, demonstrating for once that Lisa is truly jubilant in succeeding to supplant Amina.
The only slight disappointment is the bass role of the Count, who should have been more affecting in the aria of home coming.
The orchesetra and choir are equally good in this performance.
It would have been worth a much more expensive pricing, but for the slightly distant sound.
