Free Music Review: The Best Aida Before Leontyne Price Sang It
Hit: 5 Stars
Not to sound like a detractor, but the best Aida studio recording and stage performance was that of Leontyne Price in the title role. The 1970 RCA Red Seal recording is the all-time greatest recording of Aida. Still, this is the finest studio recording of Aida for its time in the 1950's, at a time when Maria Callas was the reigning prima donna assoluta. Callas, however, never made Aida her signature role as say her Normas, Toscas and Medeas and sang it too little times to be noticed. There is a studio recording of it dating to a time when she was still a young star. However, Zinka Milanov possessed the right vocal equipment for Aida, with stunning pianissimi that perhaps even influenced Montserrat Caballe. Her voice is colorful enough so that in more dramatic scenes she can make it rougher and more intense in pitch. She is lucky to have the renowned and much loved Swedish tenor Bjussi Bjorling as Radames. Bjorling makes the role of Radames a lyrically resplendent one, with few dramatic outbursts and suffusing the arias with elegant Italian diction. Fedora Barbieri sings a terrific Amneris, singing the role with a mighty voice that cuts through the orchestra. But even with this great cast, I still prefer the 1970 recording with Leontyne Price as the definative Aida of all time, Placido Domingo as the most glorious Radames, Grace Bumbry as a noble Amneris and Sherill Milnes as Amonasro. But still fans of Milanov will want to own this one.
Verdi: Aida Poster
Here's a prime-1950s cast in good monophonic sound, and it delivers the vocal thrills to keep its place high among the preferred recordings of Aida. The first voice you hear is the rich, rumbling bass of Boris Christoff and that immediately lets you know this will be no ordinary Aida. Bjorling's "Celeste Aida" is gold- standard, with gorgeous timbre, firm line, and a haunting mezza voce. From there, he just gets better. Zinka Milanov's Ethiopian princess is outstanding, full of marvelous touches and ravishing pianissimos--as well as a few minor rough spots. Fedora Barbieri and Leonard Warren offer full-voiced grand singing and Jonel Perlea keeps it all moving to fine dramatic effect. --Dan DavisClassical Music CDs
