Free Music Notes for Sumi Jo - Baroque Journey
Free Music Review: Beautiful 'songs without words'.
Hit: 3 Stars
It is true that Ms. JO is Korean, and the languages she sings in this disc are all foreign to her.
That said, while it is fully evident that Ms. JO possesses a very beautiful bel canto voice and is rightfully considered to have an almost impeccable technique, having learnt her art from the reknowned Dame Joan Sutherland who is her mentor in the early stages of JO's illustrious career, it is also fully evident that she has acquired the mannerisms of Dame Joan, notably failing to sing out full sense of the texts by crystal clear prounciations and enunciations of the libretti.
Be it Italian, English or German, am afraid that Ms. JO had only one concern - to sing the melodic lines in the utmost beautiful tone and musical lines. The consonants, the vowels, are blurred into a maze of lovely sounds.
Compare her Handel with Kiri Te Kanawa in "Let the bright seraphim" and "I know that my redeemer liveth", let alone 'Where'er you walk', diction clouded into near obscurity.
The ever popular 'lascio chio piange' has the basic baroque style of flamboyance totally drowned in the wake of her muddy treatment of the texts. And her over-embellishments sometimes aren't at all to the absolute good taste.
