Free Music Review: One Of The Best Opera Recordings Ever!
Hit: 5 Stars

I have a rather large collection of opera recordings and this dazzling recording has been one of my most cherished for a few years now. I can not comprehend how anyone could devise a recording that would top this one. First off, the cast is ideal. The chemistry between the real-life lovebirds, Angela Gheorghiu and Roberto Alagna is extraordinary. Angela makes as an electrifying a Magda as she does a Violetta; transcending brilliantly all of the dreaminess and turmoil of a most ideal Magda. Roberto is a wonderful,ardent,and sincere Ruggero. I own all of their recordings and this is the best I have have heard the duo d'amor together. However, the accomplishments of the rest of the cast cannot be ignored either. Even the most minor roles are executed with alot of sincerity and spunk. Each respective character is completely believable. The comic couple, Lisette and Prunier (sung by Inva Mula and William Matteuzzi) are sparkling and amusing and provide a comic relief from the tension of Magda's desperate urgency for her dream of romance to become a reality, to her apprehension and despair when she realizes that it can not stay that way.

The sound of La Rondine's score can be described as elegant, luxorious, in every sense of the word. There are reoccurences of themes in dreamy flourishes used to dramatic effect throughout the opera. Act One exists in a sort of dreamy and alluring anticipation of what takes place in Act Two. Act Two is rich in lovely harmonizing dance themes, a great Puccinian love duet, and an enraptured quartet as the two pairs of lovers express their ardent passion, contentment and joy on this most wonderful night. Act Three has a different feel from the other two. It starts off peaceful and content, but then quickly turns desolate (represented in sparse orchestration), then desperate. Magda realizes that her dream must come to end. Up until now, the opera had been quite light-hearted, but now it is more serious. There are some moments that are reminiscent some of Puccini's more tragic heroines. No, there is no imminent death or such like which was the case with Mimi,Tosca or Butterfly; but there is still some intense turmoil within the final seen. When you realize that these lovers cannot stay together, and witness Magda's agony and Ruggerro's insistence and desparation, it actually is quite heartbreaking. Magda's not-so-nice past which prevents her from marrying the student that loves her, is a tragedy in itself. An exquisite, exquisite, recording. A must have!
