Free Music Review: Observations from a novice
Hit: 4 Stars
I have only recently come to light opera, and cannot therefore speak to the excellence of this performance The Mikado in reference to other recordings and other casts. However, it may be that some who read these reviews are looking for their first recording of the Mikado, and my impressions may have some relevance to such individuals.
There are, in my opinion, two major problems that confront the listener who is unfamiliar with this work: the lack of a libretto and the omission of the dialog. One should know better than to listen to an opera without first having gone through the libretto, mea culpa on that account; but it is in modern English, for crying out loud. I should be able to follow it. Not so, I fear. Omission of the dialog makes it difficult for one who does not know the opera by heart to follow the story. The modernized lyrics were also a source of puzzlement; did he say `yuppy'? The result is distraction. So if, like me, you are looking for your first recording of the Mikado, I submit that this one is lovely. But go to the web and download the libretto, and be prepared for the fact that large sections of the original text have been deleted and some of the lyrics have been changed, presumably to `modernize' the presentation. Once I got past these issues, I found this performance to be delightful.
