Free Music Review: Two beautiful voices
Hit: 5 Stars
I will agree with one of the other reviewers that the tempi was too fast at some parts. An exception might have been the track "Fac Ut Ardeat." I thought it was magnificent. Scholl's rendition of "Quae Morebat" was classic. I thought the tempi for "Vidit Suum Dulcem Natum" was perfect, as it is typically too slow and drug out in the Hogwood version, which tend to slow down the performance. Both performers sing magnificently. Bonney was a sweet, strong voice, which maintains in the higher range, where other sopranos usually become shrill. And Scholl.....what else can be said? His voice is amazing, and he showcases that here. His Salve is breathtaking.
Pergolesi: Stabat Mater /Bonney * Scholl * Les Talens Lyriques * Rousset Poster
Certainly the somber beauty of Pergolesi's Stabat Mater for soprano, alto, and strings has a lot to do with its popularity. But it must be said that the story of the 26-year-old composer completing the work on his deathbed has always been too romantic for the public--or the music business--to resist. "The instant his death was known," wrote the famous 18th-century traveler Dr. Burney, "all Italy manifested an eager desire to hear and possess his productions." And so it's been ever since. In spite of the competition already on the market, it seems Decca just had to get its prize lyric soprano and hotshot young countertenor together to record the piece.The result isn't bad as such: Barbara Bonney sings graciously and prettily, though with a sound better suited to Schumann or Strauss (for example, she lets her vibrato smudge the suspended dissonances that make the first movement so effective); Andreas Scholl gives a nicely judged, intelligent performance that would probably seem marvelous in another setting. But I can sense no spark at all: the whole recording feels as though it were made because Decca's marketing department thought it would be a good idea, not because the performers felt strongly about the music in any way. The two settings of the Salve Regina (one for each soloist; both share some material with the Stabat Mater) come off a bit better, but they aren't what you'd buy this disc for. Dedicated fans of Scholl and Bonney probably won't be (too) disappointed, but compared to the exemplary, elegant Gillian Fisher and Michael Chance or the thrilling, often surprising Concerto Italiano, this one is hard to recommend. --Matthew Westphal
