Free Music Review: La prima donna di bel canto!
Hit: 5 Stars
This is a true gem. Some of the most beautiful works of Bellini, Rossini and Donizetti, followed with a brilliant example of versatility within the confines of a little known thing called 'appropriate repertoire'.
She might be unconvincing on the lowest note of 'Una voce poco fa', her Donna Anna might not be the greatest interpretation ever heard, three or four of the bell-imitating fioriture of 'Ou va la jeune indoue' may not be as clean as the rest of her shining coloratura and the last note of this, the Bell Song, might be hundredths of a semitone under, but by the gods, this recording is more faultless than one could dare to hope!
Edita Gruberova's glistening coloratura, spectacular range, pure and balanced tone, and intelligent musicality are hallmarks of a true bel canto diva. Her 'Eccomi in lieta vesta' and 'Oh, quante volte' are simply reference recordings of the literature. The 'Sediziose voci' gives a commanding introduction to the famed cavatina and cabaletta, showing the great richness of which this voice is capable. The 'Casta diva' does not languish but is undescribably brilliant, heartwarming and heartrending at the same time, and the 'Ah bello a me ritorna' a reminder of the coloratura fireworks of the great Dame herself. The 'Una voce poco fa', an interesting choice for a soprano noted for her performances of the Queen of the Night, is not only brilliantly sung, but impeccably characterised, with ornaments that will leave your jaw hanging.
The mixed bag, with numbers such as 'O zittre nicht, mein lieber sonn' and the most stirring 'Je veux vivre dans ce reve' I've heard, add to an amazing recording that words hardly describe. Listen for an interesting addition of the under-appreciated aria "Wie nahte mir der schlummer..Leise, leise, fromme weise", which is truly satisfying.
This recording cannot be recommended highly enough, and nor can Edita Gruberova, a singer whose virtuosity can be described by the fact that, despite being at the age many singers choose to retire, she is the current reigning stage and recording Norma. Money well spent, and a truly awe-inspiring and beautiful experience.
