Free Music Notes for Verdi - Don Carlo / Domingo ? Caball? ? Raimondi ? Milnes ? Verrett ? Estes ? Giulini

Free Music Review: Almost 40 Years Later, this is still the Best Don Carlo
Hit: 5 Stars

Don Carlo is one of Verdi's most difficult operas to stage. You need six principal singers with outstanding Verdi voices and characterful insights that bring this great masterpiece to life. In addition to that, you also need a conductor sensitive to the musical language of Verdi's score, to its changes in mood, its grand moments, and its reflective scenes. We rarely get great Verdi voices today, but back in the 70's when this set was produced, EMI assembled a team of such a high caliber that it became almost impossible to surpass such high standards. They also enlisted the services of Carlo Maria Giulini, known then as the decade's most talented Verdi conductor, and also as the pioneer of setting the performance practice of mounting the 5-Act version of the opera.

The cast is outstanding. You have the fresh, young Don Carlo of Placido Domingo, the beautiful, plangent Elisabetta of Montserrat Caballe, the rich, dark Posa of Sherrill Milnes, the earthy, yet accurate Eboli of Shirley Verrett, and the rolling Filippo of Ruggiero Raimondi. No, the Inquisitor is not Martti Talvela, but that is a minor protest compared to the excellence of this cast. Years later, Decca and Sir Georg Solti would challenge this cast with their own Don Carlo featuring Renata Tebaldi, Carlo Bergonzi, Fischer Dieskau, Grace Bumbry, Nicolai Ghiaurov, and Martti Talvela, and as excellent as that set is, I'm afraid it does not capture the level of poetry that Giulini's team has in abundance in this recording.

Truly, the Fontainebleau scene has never been bettered by any other recording. Domingo and Caballe shine in the crucial First Act when both leads meet for the time. Their timbres suit the ecstatic and later tragic moments of this often neglected act, bridging the emotional and psychological states of the characters in the latter acts. For this act alone should you buy this recording. Some people may say that Caballe and Domingo lack the spontaneity and passion of a staged setting, but that overstates the fact that this is a studio recording. I most certainly find it moving, and although I find these two singers more exciting on stage, the perfection achieved in this recording is simply beyond description. The tenor and soprano in the later acts communicate the romantic tragedy of Verdi's largest opera, and no one gives as beautiful and well-thought out soliloquy as Caballe in Tu che le vanita. Their farewell scene is heartbreaking and impassioned. How unfortunate it is that Verdi never wrote great tenor arias for Don Carlo. Domingo would have made them his own.

The next few scenes introduce us to the characters whose lives are intertwined in this great Verdian drama. While there are certainly finer voiced baritones in the role of the patriotic Posa, Sherrill Milnes gives us one of the most incisive performances of his career. He may not be as insightful as Hampson with Pappano or as luxurious as Bastianini, but he gives a complete account of this baritone role. I'm glad too that he doesn't have the snarling effects of a wrongly cast Fischer-Dieskau in the Solti set. Shirley Verrett is one of the most exciting Ebolis to sing the part, even if her Italian diction is not perfect. She deals with the fioritura with elan, and while I far prefer Bumbry and Cossotto in this mezzo part, she paints one of the most complete Ebolis on disk. Her "O Don Fatale" is devastating, if not in the same level of Grace Bumbry.

Ruggiero Raimondi is lighter than Nicolai Ghiaurov as Filippo, but he nuances the gravitas of the character more finely than the Bulgarian giant. His scene with the Inquisitor may not capture the same degree of electricity achieved in Solti's recording with Talvela and Ghiaurov, but Raimondi paints the rest of the character's complexities with the finesse of a Romantic artist. This is Philip the forlorn lover, not Philip the merciless dictator.

Giulini conducts the opera with Verdi's poetry and beauty. If this does not capture the excitement of the opera the way Solti's does, no one else captures the detail, the beauty, and the singing qualities of the score that the way this great conductor does in this recording. A must for every collection.

Verdi - Don Carlo / Domingo ? Caball? ? Raimondi ? Milnes ? Verrett ? Estes ? Giulini Poster

Politics, love, and family conflict make a heady brew in Verdi's masterpiece, originally set to a French text for Paris in 1867. In 1882, the composer made an Italian version with big cuts, lopping off the entire first act, which here is restored by Giulini. His pointed, nuanced conducting makes this recording the best available. An ideal Don Carlo requires the unattainable: five great singers and an expert Verdi conductor. This 1970 set has glorious voices that don't dig deep enough for this multilayered drama. The young Domingo sounds fresh, but lacks the free top that the part needs. Milnes has the voice for Rodrigo but, like Domingo and Caball?, is too generalized. Raimondi is too light-voiced for Philip, and the confrontation scene consequently lacks the chilling tension that Tito Gobbi and Boris Christoff bring to it on an earlier EMI cut led by Gabriele Santini. Rival recordings have bigger flaws and few of the virtues that are displayed here, such as Caball?'s extraordinarily beautiful if detached singing. True Verdians also will want Pappano's French version, also on EMI, which features Alagna as the hapless prince. --Dan Davis
