More (Tamás Pál)
Released: August 18, 2000 | Label: Hungaroton & 8220; | This recording has many merits. It is one of the few professionally-recorded operas by the great Cimarosa: although a little dated, this CD is not the usual abominable "live recording" that we Cimarosa fans have to endure if we want to savor this composer's sublime creations. Next, the music is extremely well conducted: tempi are just left and never rushed, recitativi are expressive and not over-sung, and the whole rolls along at a perfect pace. But most of all, the CD is rendered alive by the quality and dramatic savvy of the three main "Buffi" characters played by Gregor, Kincses and Garino.
Now, on the minus side. The voices of Szucs and Klietmann are simply not up to par. Why Pal chose these two singers I will never understand, especially when the quality gap between them and the other three is so blatant. No matter how hard I try, I can't bring myself to hear their arias without hitting the "skip" button on the CD player, which is a real pity.
Still, there are very few recorded operas with an all-perfect cast. And this CD is one of my favorites in my collection, and I would not hesitate recommending it to any fan of 18th Century Opera Buffa… | & 8221; |
