An excellent and exciting recording.......2003-10-18

This wonderful disc contains a range of madrigals from very small scaled works to some of the very largest Andrea Gabrieli ever wrote (only 'Ecce Vinegia Bella' à 12 voci and 'Cantiam de Dio', also à 12 - in three choirs, are missing from this collection - maybe these works (along with some more madrigals of Giovanni Gabrieli) will appear on a follow up recording?? ;-))

I Fagiolini sing with pathos, passion, style, grace, fun and grit, when needed. The English Cornett & Sackbut Ensemble also makes very bold, impressive and colourful noises, too!

The whole thing is quite wonderful and it is clear to me that Andrea Gabrieli is a very worthy composer and I hope that these groups join together again and record more of this marvellous repertoire. Gabrieli wrote a large number of madrigals, possibly more than Monteverdi, and, judging from this recording, they are very fine and expressive pieces of music. Listen to the large madrigal - "O passi sparsi" - on this recording, which is done as a duet for countertenor (Robin Blaze) and high tenor (Nicholas Mulroy) voices with the full forces of the EC&SE (and transposed down a major 4th to make the two top lines of each choir fit the voices and instruments). This piece is almost operatic in its expressiveness. It makes me wonder what Andrea Gabrieli would have composed if he had lived on into the time of Monteverdi and the birth of opera - perhaps he would have given the young Claudio a run for his money?
Nonetheless, works like "O passi sparsi" demonstrate Gabrieli's skill at work painting and creating music of deep feelings.

Well done to you, Mr. Hollingworth, and your team.
Bravo!

I Fagiolini (not Robin Blaze)!.......2003-09-09

Just a quickie to let the reader know that this is an I Fagiolini recording (with the English Cornett and Sackbut Ensemble). Robin Blaze does indeed appear on the recording as part of the team but even Robin wouldn't even say that it was his recording!

I conceived this recording and I direct the group so I'm not the most impartial person to review it - but it has been done with a lot of love, care and at times humour (including two filthy Venetian old men's songs) and I'd recommend it heartily. Go to www.ifagiolini.com for more info.

Well orchestrated opera not devoid of melodic enchantment..........2003-11-18

The plot of this opera is very interesting & appealing, even though an Opera of the same name failed miserably in the stage for Vincezo Bellini (he went on to use the same music for "I Capuleti e I Montecchi" with an enourmous sucess)...

However, in the 20th century and now it is Zaira of Bellini instead of Zaira of Mercadante which enchant audiences and saw several revivals. During the 19th century Mercandante's 60 operas were more performed... change in time, change in taste of the audience!

The conflict this opera reflects the perils of the heart with a background of opposing religions: Orosmane (bass), the Muslim sultan of Jerusalem, and his slave, Zaira (soprano) are in love. When Nerestano (tenor) returns (former Orosmane's prisoner), he and Zaira seem attracted and Orosmane becomes jealous. The twist in the plot is that Zaira and Nerestano are brother and sister, the children of Lusignano (baritone), a prior King of Jerusalem. She (Zaira) later on discovers this, therefore must decide whether to remain a Muslim under Orosmane, or return as a Christian. In the final scene, Orosmane kills Zaira out of jealousy; before dying she says Nerestano is her brother, and Orosmane, realizing the big mistake he made, kills himself shortly afterwards.

The musical detail and dramatic realism of Mercandante's orchestration is emotionally effective and melodically firm and pleasant. The love duet of Zaira/Orosmane, and the enjoyable trio of Act II, have very inspiring melodies supported by the orchestral varied texture. Nevertheless the final scene (with the high emotional and dramatic context provided by the plot)it is not as well translated to music by the composer...

Said that, it is a well constructed opera with a fine thread of melodic stability with a very satisfying texture that entertains. A good, even though not excellent, accomplisment by Mercadante. For Opera Rara and the singers an A+!...

A Rare Treat.......2003-06-07

Today, it is Bellini's Zaira that has been seen on modern stages, while Mercadante's has continued to molder in its grave; in the 19th century, Mercadante's was the one that enjoyed success. This recording is the first of a projected series of recordings ("Essential Opera Rara") in which Opera Rara records the major highlights from a particular forgotten work. A fine cast of Opera Rara mainstays, including the Irish soprano Majella Cullagh, the excellent tenor Bruce Ford, and bass Alistair Miles, interprets this interesting work with their usual attention to musical detail and dramatic realism. Aside from the rather disappointing final scene, in which the music does not quite capture the enormity of the tragic ending, the rest of the opera contains remarkably beautiful and enjoyable passages. Zaira's duet with Orasmane, her big tragic aria in the penultimate scene, and the exciting trio in Act II, are all remarkable for their emotional thrust and melodic inspiration. Mercadante's scrupulous attention to orchestration throughout the work is a treat.
The most impressive singing comes from bass Alistair Miles, who is wonderful in the Tamburini role of Orasmane. The difficult (and abundant) coloratura poses no difficulties for Miles, who also uses his voice with great sensitivity to emotion; the tender affection of Orasmane for Zaira, his consuming jealousy, and his remorse and shock after he murders her, are painted with a varied and subtle palette of vocal colors. Almost his equal is Cullagh, whose voice (or so it seems to me) is progressively becoming more at home in dramatic roles such as this. Her rendition of the character's final aria is a tour de force, and proves just how effective Mercadante's music is in the right hands. Bruce Ford and Gary Magee have relatively less to do than Cullagh and Miles, but both sing with their usual consummate artistry. As is always the case with Opera Rara, the presentation of the set is nonpareil, with sumptuous and highly evocative art gracing the box cover and a substantial booklet accompanying the recording.

Terrible.......2005-07-18

Playing is notey, with no sense of line or phrasing whatsoever. Audio quality is poor, and piano arrangements are simplistic and uninspired. I've heard better at middle school recitals!

Very disappointing, save your pennies.......2001-04-19

It's hard to think of something good to say about this CD. The audio is poor quality, with obtrusive environmental rain sounds. As an English horn player, I wondered why the performer is anonymous--no wonder, s/he is also amateurish, sounding like a woodwind doubler who spent 10 minutes preparing with little musicality and control of phrasing or musical shape. Further, the arrangements are frequently simplistic if not crude. I have never bothered to write a review before but was outraged this time.

Europe is heard bursting out of the tension and isolation of war in recordings that--because of their pre-stereo status--have been long unavailable in any form. Pianist Monique Haas performs in combustible collaborations with conductors Hans Schmidt-Isserstedt and Ferenc Fricsay, respectively, in Ravel's Concerto in G and Stravinsky's Capriccio, reflecting the postwar German enthusiasm for the French-based music they'd been deprived of. Fricsay's Tchaikovsky Symphony No. 5 is one of the best ever, the young Amadeus Quartet is far more alert and inventive in Schubert's "Rosamunde" quartet than its more mature self, and the late conductor Fritz Lehmann has an incomparable way with Bach's chorales in Christmas Oratorio excerpts. Violinist Wolfgang Schneiderhan is heard in his earlier (and better) Beethoven sonata recordings with Wilhelm Kempf, and the younger, less-mannered Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau sings Brahms's Four Serious Songs. Two Russian greats, David Oistrakh and Sviatoslav Richter, bringing their customary mastery, respectively, to Brahms and Schumann, as does the electrifying Igor Markevitch in his lesser-known, 1953 recording of Berlioz's Symphonie Fantastique. Lorin Maazel, conducting selections from Berlioz's Romeo and Juliet, is full of fine ideas but not a lot of style. --David Patrick Stearns
