Free Music Review: Bravo Villazon!!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
The first time I heard Rolando was in the Bellas Artes theater in Mexico City many years ago, in the opera l'elisir d'amore, he wasn't famous at that time. I remember he had to sing "una furtiva lagrima" twice because people liked it so much that they won't let him continue until he sang it again... Since then, Mr Villazon has become one of the best, making a statement that mexican tenors are among the best of the world. This recording is great.... his french is not perfect... but overall this CD is beautiful, he sounds great. If you buy this cd I would recommend to get the Italian Opera arias CD (which is wonderful) so you can have a very nice collection of italian and french operas with one of the greatest singers of our time.
Rolando Villazon - Gounod ? Massenet Arias Poster
Rolando Villazon's follow-up CD to his sensational debut recital of Italian arias is devoted to music by Gounod and Massenet: some as familiar as Faust's, Romeo's and Des Grieux's arias, some as rare as pieces from Gounod's Polyeucte and La Reine de Saba and Massenet's Roma and Le Mage. But almost more important than the interesting repertoire, familiar or otherwise, is Villazon's handling of the music. In Werther's passionate Act II outburst to God about suicide, which is almost never excerpted, Villazon manages, in four minutes, to create a complete character, with all his neuroses, mania, and desperation--and he caps it with a ringing high B natural which is as beautiful as it is heartfelt. He sings both of Des Grieux's arias with feeling and tenderness (aided in "Le reve" by Natalie Dessay!). An aria from La Reine de Saba turns out to bequite a showpiece, with a drop-dead high C at its close. As singing and as interpreting, this CD is a must-have. Villazon's dark-hued, expressive tone is always used in the service of the music, and following his career will be a joy for all lovers of great tenorizing. --Robert LevineClassical Music CDs
