Free Music Notes for Mozart: Idomeneo / Araiza, Hendricks, R. Alexander, Mentzer, Hollweg, Heilmann, Peeters; C. Davis
Free Music Review: Inspiring Conducting, Very Satisfying Performance
Hit: 5 Stars
The most beautiful & forward-looking of Mozart's "serious" Italian operas, "Idomeneo" is now available in a multitude of performances of all sorts of scale & length (Mozart didn't leave a definitive text). This 1991 one has been generally overlooked or dismissed - unfairly, in my view, because I find it one of the most satisfying versions. It had the misfortune to come out around the time of the 1st recording on period instruments (the beautiful but overrated Gardiner) & to compete with reviewers' fond memories of Colin Davis's 1st Philips recording (1968) [George Shirley, Margherita Rinaldi, Pauline Tinsley, Ryland Davies]. (To complicate matters, there's also a Davis-led Italian radio broadcast with Nicolai Gedda, Heather Harper & Jessye Norman.)
But this is a superbly conducted version in its own right, much fuller in text than Davis's 1st recording (both in the main body of the recording & the appendices), which really makes a direct, vibrant impact as music drama. Davis knows his way around this score & also knows - not all conductors do - how to create the illusion that it is the singers, not the conductor, who are driving the drama onward. The highlight of the cast are the 3 American ladies: Barbara Hendricks (Ilia), Roberta Alexander (Elettra) & Susanne Mentzer (Idamante), each a highly individual & accomplished performer. But this performance is definitely more than the sum of its parts.
My 1st recommendation for "Idomeneo" is probably the new EMI version led by Charles Mackerras: it has the most complete text & the conducting has tremendous forward momentum without any sense of hurry; on the other hand, some people may not warm to Ian Bostridge's light-voiced, idiosyncratic reading of the title role, & choose to look elsewhere for a tenor with more weight, color & brilliance. Don't pass this Philips version by: it is a genuine experience under the inspired direction of a great Mozartean, & deserves to be heard.
