Free Music Notes for Verdi - Aida / L. Price ? Vickers ? Merrill ? Gorr ? Opera di Roma ? Solti
Free Music Review: The same but much cheaper
Hit: 5 Stars
This is a great recording, especially for Price's performance. A dramatic, sensuous Aida, her 'smoky' voice ideally suited to the role (e.g, O patria mia in Act III). Vickers is a strong, virile, Radames, the fine vocal actor that he is; and Merrill (Amonraso) and Tozzi (Ramfis) are in superb voice, playing their parts with complete conviction. Gorr sings a passionate, heart-felt, Amneris (e.g., L'aboritta rivale in Act IV). The only reservation is Solti's 'steamroller' conducting. A little more attention to detail, and mood, would have made this a legendary Aida on discs.
I recommend the cheaper, 2-for-1 Decca CD, roughly half of the cost of this recording. A synopsis of the action is included, with the appropriate cues numbered, but no full libretto.
Verdi - Aida / L. Price ? Vickers ? Merrill ? Gorr ? Opera di Roma ? Solti Poster
Though recorded in Rome, this is anything but a traditional Italian Aida. Some find it infuriating, others fascinating. Besides displaying a vocal control and technique way beyond most Radames portrayals, Jon Vickers sings the famous "Celeste Aida" like a thoughtful, inner soliloquy rather than just a showstopper. In the earlier of her two recordings, Price shows why Aida was her signature role, and Gorr can only be a formidable Amneris. The big polarizing force is conductor Sir Georg Solti. An explosive Wagnerian, Solti is accused of making Verdi too bombastic and neglecting the sense of lyrical line. I say he gave the opera grandeur, though admittedly in a manner the composer might not have recognized. --David Patrick StearnsClassical Music CDs
