Free Music Review: "Pops" Puccini
Hit: 5 Stars
Erich Kunzel and the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra has done a marvelous job of playing operatic orchestral music. Other titles in the series include Verdi Without Words, Puccini Without Words, Carmen Withour Words and Wagner Without Words. Puccini's music alone is entirely lyrical, and in several instances slide into dramatic and powerful moments of climax. Kunzel and his Pops Orchestra lavish the scores with finesse, beauty and power. On this album: music from Tosca - the Love Duet between Tosca and Mario beginning with "Mario! Mario! Mario! Son Qui..." in Act 1. It is followed by the music for Act 1's finale, the Te Deum, in which the evil Baron Scarpia blasphemously declares that Tosca makes him forget God, the music concludes with Scarpia's celebrated motif. This bombastic, brash music is oddly at variance with the more spiritual, slower-paced "Vissi D'arte" music that accompanies Tosca's prayer aria. The music slowly builds to a crescendo and then subsides. The passionate music from Tosca is followed by the equally passionate music to Madama Butterfly. On here is the music for Butterfly's Entrance when she first meets B.F. Pinkerton, the exotic melancholy that is Butterfly's aria "Un Bel Di" and the Japanese-influenced Humming Chorus. The CD concludes with the beautiful, lilting and sad music from La Boheme. For fans of opera and orchestral music, this is a must have. It is a fine way to get into opera by listening to the score first as well.
